The second letter represents the month of production, A the first letter of the alphabet represents January, B, the second letter, represents February, C the third letter, represents March and so on, through L, the twelfth letter, representing the 12th month, December. X is used in place of I to represent the ninth month, September. The next two digits are the day and the last number represents the last digit of the year.

For example: the code B182 - B stands for February, the 18 is the eighteenth day of the month and the 2 stands for 2002. Therefore B189 was made on February 18th, 2002, and should be used within 24 months to ensure quality.
