IABFLO Syntax Decoded
Direct answer summary
A Uniform Registry Number such as 'REG. NO. UT-12345 (FL)' represents a tripartite legal manufacturing identifier. 'UT' indicates that the State of Utah Department of Agriculture initially issued the master bedding license. '12345' is the unique registration sequence number assigned to that manufacturer. '(FL)' in parentheses designates that the physical mattress was assembled in a licensed manufacturing plant located in the State of Florida.
Key points
First two letters indicate the state issuing the original master bedding license.
Numerical sequence represents the unique manufacturer registration number.
Parenthetical state code at the end discloses the physical factory assembly location.
