The Type Allocation Code (TAC) is the initial eight-digit portion of the 15-digit IMEI and 16-digit

IMEISV codes used to uniquely identify wireless devices.

The Type Allocation Code identifies a particular model (and often revision) of wireless telephone for
use on a GSM, UMTS or other IMEI-employing wireless network.

The first two digits of the TAC are the Reporting Body Identifier. This indicates the GSMA-approved
group that allocated the TAC.

Prior to January 1, 2003, the global standard for the IMEI started with a six-digit Type Approval
Code followed by a two-digit Final Assembly Code (FAC). The Type Approval Code (also known as
TAC) indicated that the particular device was approved by a national GSM approval body and the
FAC identified the company that had built and assembled the device (which is not always the same
as the brand name stamped on the device).

Effective on that date, many GSM member nations and entities (mainly Europe) moved away from
requiring that devices be approved by national bodies, and towards a system where device
manufacturers self-regulate the device market. As a result, a manufacturer now simply requests an
eight-digit Type Allocation Code for a new phone model from the international GSM standards body,
instead of submitting a device for approval to a national review body.

Both the old and new TAC uniquely identify a model of phone, although some models may have
more than one code, depending on revision, manufacturing location, and other

TAC examples[edit]
