 In USA you'd probably use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_designator
http://blog.inf.ed.ac.uk/neilb/2011/03/09/pcb-reference-designation/

 E.g.:
MP	Mechanical part (including screws and fasteners)
PCB	Printed circuit board
TP	Test point

 In Europe we have the new standard ISO 81346
 (which is developed from iec 1346 / iso 61346):

http://www.vgb.org/vgbmultimedia/AKADNEU/VGB_S_823_T32_DE_2012_02_03_Entwurf_Final1.pdf

 E.g.:
X	Object for establishing a static connection.
