Default Use of serial and date codes?

Hi gang. So I am looking to buy a new lens and came across a few used lenses on eBay. I noticed some sellers post a serial and date code: SN 24591 Date Code UR1001

Where can I find out what it means? It would be nice to know that "UR1001" means it was produced in 2006 and not 1999.

Thanks.

Nevermind... UR1001 = Utsunomiya, Japan in October 2003
