'''''A place for everything and everything in its place'''''

The tools and equipment at the space are color coded and/or labeled to make everything easy to find, use and return.

For the purpose of labelling, zone (or area) and sub-zone are defined as following:
;Zone (or area)
:A specialized physical division of the space, each with it's own Area Czar.
:For example: Electronics, Woodworking, Metal Working etc.
;Sub-zone
:A sub-section or a group of tools within a Zone.
:For example: Within the Metal working Zone, we have different sub-zones like TIG welding sub-zone, lathe sub-zone, Milling sub-zone, ''etc.''

==Zone Colors==
Each zone is assigned a color to be used for labelling the tools and equipment belonging to that zone. The following colors were identified for various zones in discussions with the respective area czars:

The label is wrapped around the tool's handle or affixed to the tool according to the guidelines specified in the [[#Labelling]] section.

'''''Notes''''' to Czars and Czarinas:
*Select a zone color that would provide a good contrast against the color of the tools/material normally used in your Area/Zone
*Please use the following 15-color palette to select a color for your Area/Zone

[[File:color-blindness-palette-v2.png| none | thumb | Color blind safe color palette]]

==Labelling==
A Label consists of the following components:
*Primary identification: Identifies Zone
**A solid color representing the assigned zone (see [[#Zone Colors]]), filling the entire band or sticker used for labelling
**It should be prominent and clearly identifiable from a distance of 6 feet
*Secondary identification: Optionally identifies sub-zone within a Zone
**<del>A secondary mark (in the shape of a contrasting colored inlaid solid circle or square)</del>
**A secondary 2 character alphanumeric code inside an inlaid circle on primary band
***First character identifying the zone, with an alphabetic character
***Second character identifying the sub-zone, with a numerical character
***Example: Within Woodworking (W) zone, we may have W1, W2, and W3 for zones corresponding to, say, Table saw (1), Planer (2), and Joiner (3), respectively.
**It is optional, at the discretion of the Area Czar
**It should not overpower the primary identification
**It should be prominent only when the tool is in close proximity

===Material===
The labeling material used should be resilient enough to sustain normal usage of the tools and equipment. Area Czar/Czarina may identify the material to be used for the tools in their respective areas.
===Guidelines===
*The label should be clearly visible
*It should not interfere with the normal usability and safety of the tool
===Type===

:For example: Within the Metal working Zone, we have different sub-zones like TIG welding sub-zone, lathe sub-zone, Milling sub-zone, ''etc.''

==Zone Colors==
Each zone is assigned a color to be used for labelling the tools and equipment belonging to that zone. The following colors were identified for various zones in discussions with the respective area czars:

The label is wrapped around the tool's handle according to the guidelines.

==Labelling==
A Label consists of the following components:
*Primary identification: Identifies Zone
**A solid color representing the assigned zone (see [[#Zone Colors]]), filling the entire band or sticker used for labelling
**It should be prominent and clearly identifiable from a distance of 6 feet
*Secondary identification: Optionally identifies sub-zone within a Zone
**<del>A secondary mark (in the shape of a contrasting colored inlaid solid circle or square)</del>
**A secondary 2 character alphanumeric code inside an inlaid circle on primary band
***First character identifying the zone, with an alphabetic character
***Second character identifying the sub-zone, with a numerical character
***Example: Within Woodworking (W) zone, we may have W1, W2, and W3 for zones corresponding to, say, Table saw (1), Planer (2), and Joiner (3), respectively.
**It is optional, at the discretion of the Area Czar
**It should not overpower the primary identification
**It should be prominent only when the tool is in close proximity

===Material===
The labeling material used should be resilient enough to sustain normal usage of the tools and equipment. Area Czar/Czarina may identify the material to be used for the tools in their respective areas.
===Guidelines===
*The label should be clearly visible
*It should not interfere with the normal usability and safety of the tool
===Type===
;Mobile tools
: a colored band is applied to tool
;Fixed tools
: a rectangular KM inventory sticker (to be designed) with zone color and tool name
