Standard nomenclature has these battlesuits categorized by two numbers - the first number denoting which mass class it belongs to, the second its role. For example, in the XV22 [[Stealth Battlesuit]], the first '2' denotes it as a lighter-weight suit, while the second '2' means it is still undergoing field-testing.{{Fn|2b}}
==Battlesuit Classification==
Every piece of Tau wargear has a unique identification code detailing its size, design and battlefield role. Battlesuits are given the classification XV followed by a numerical code to denote their mass class (size) and their evolution in the design process. The [[XV88 Broadside Battlesuit]], for example, is a mass class 8 suit, and the eighth variation of the [[XV8]] Crisis Battlesuit. The much larger [[XV104 Riptide]] is in the tenth mass class, while the 4 in its classification indicates that it is in the final stages of field testing.{{Fn|15}}
