けいしき

noun

model; type; model number

1. model; type; model number; type designation

Written with the characters 型(かた) (mold, type) and 式(しき) (style, formula), but read as けいしき. This is a homophone of 形式(けいしき) (format, formality), but the two have different meanings: 型式(けいしき) refers to a product model designation, while 形式(けいしき) refers to format, form, or formality.

Particularly common in the automotive industry, where the 型式(けいしき) code uniquely identifies a vehicle's specifications.
