Norwegian term or phrase: TAG-nummer
"Målsetningen med TAG-nummersystemet er at alle komponenter i et prosessanlegg har en entydig indentifikasjon"

My context has to do with chemical substances, but this system is used in other industries, too. But what does "TAG" actually stand for?

tag number
Explanation:
Don't think it actually stands for anything. It is more of a tracking or reference number or "tag" that contains a unique set of details. This includes lot numbers, expiration dates, etc. This tag can be put on anything that you want. The idea is that it is a small barcode or "tag" of some kind.
If you have quantities of a part with different details, i.e. lot number, they can't be stored using the same "tag".

agree  Thomas Deschington: Maybe it's a short form of "dog tag" or "key tag" number :-) ? In other words, an ID number.

Explanation:
"tag number" er definert som "kjenningsnummer" i Prestesæters Engelsk-norsk fagordbok (2005)

Kan dette være noe?
