Une distinction est établie entre les «articles sérialisés» et les articles «gérés par numéro de série» (ou suivis par numéro de série). Il se peut que le [ministère de la Défense nationale] et les [Forces armées canadiennes] utilisent un article qui a été sérialisé par le fabricant, mais ils peuvent décider de ne pas le gérer au moyen de ce numéro de série. S'ils décident de le gérer ainsi, il devient «géré par numéro de série». 1, record 3, French, - article%20g%C3%A9r%C3%A9%20par%20num%C3%A9ro%20de%20s%C3%A9rie
