Possible answers

Own scheme on company domain

Addresses on your company domain, with a scheme you define.

Self-issued / EN IEC 61406

Identification link under IEC 61406: a unique, stable web address on the manufacturer's domain.

ISO/IEC 15459 (ASC MH10)

Unique identifier under ISO/IEC 15459, with ASC MH10 data identifiers (e.g. 1P = part number), resolved by a web resolver.
E.g. https://resolver.org/1P/PART1234/S

Decentralized identifiers (W3C standard) verifiable without a central authority.
E.g. did:web:id.company.com:products:MOD123

E.g. https://doi.org/10.1234/company.mod123
