Commission Decision of 21 October 2010 amending Decisions 2006/920/EC and 2008/231/EC concerning the technical specifications of interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘Traffic Operation and Management’ of the trans-European conventional and high-speed rail systems (notified under document C(2010) 7179) (Text with EEA relevance) (2010/640/EU)

The Annexes to Decision 2006/920/EC are amended as follows:

1. (1)

   the Annex is amended as follows:

   1. (a)

      Section 2.2.1 is replaced by the following:

      ‘2.2.1.

      STAFF AND TRAINS

      Sections 4.6 and 4.7 apply to those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of accompanying a train, when this involves crossing a border(s) between states and working beyond any location(s) designated as the “frontier” in the Network Statement of an Infrastructure Manager and included in its safety authorisation.

      Section “4.6.2 Linguistic Competency” applies additionally to train drivers as stipulated by Annex VI point 8 of Directive 2007/59/EC.

      A staff member will not be considered as crossing a border if the activity only involves working as far as any “frontier” locations as described in the first paragraph of this section.

      For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of despatching trains and authorising train movements, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and health and safety conditions between Member States will apply.

      For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks associated with the last preparation of a train before it is scheduled to cross a border(s) and work beyond any “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section, subsection 4.6 will apply with mutual recognition between Member States of health and safety conditions. A train will not be considered to be a cross border service, if all the vehicles of the train crossing the state border cross it only to the “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section.

      This can be summarised in the following tables:

      Staff involved with the working of trains that will cross state borders and proceed beyond the frontier location

   VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

   1.

   General remarks

   This Annex describes the European Vehicle Number and linked marking applied in a visible manner on the vehicle to identify it uniquely and in a permanent manner during operation. It does not describe other numbers or markings eventually engraved or fixed in a permanent manner on the chassis or the main components of the vehicle during its construction.

   2.

   European Vehicle number and linked abbreviations

   Each railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:

   Rolling stock group	Interoperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]	Country in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]	Technical characteristics[4 figures]	Serial number[3 figures]	Check digit[1 figure]
   Wagons	00 to 09 10 to 19 20 to 29 30 to 39 40 to 49 80 to 89 [details in Annex P.6]	01 to 99 [details in Annex P.4]	0000 to 9999 [details in Annex P.9]	000 to 999	0 to 9 [details in Annex P.3]
   Hauled passenger vehicles	50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 79 [details in Annex P.7]		0000 to 9999 [details in Annex P.10]	000 to 999
   Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation	90 to 99 [details in Annex P.8]		0000000 to 8999999 [the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]
   Special vehicles			9000 to 9999 [details in Annex P.11]	000 to 999

   In a given country, the 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles^f1.

   Alphabetical markings complete the number:

   1. (a)

      markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);

   2. (b)

      abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);

   3. (c)

      Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);

   4. (d)

      abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).

   3.

   Allocation of number

   The European Vehicle Number has to be allocated according to the rules laid down in Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.

   The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Annex due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service according to Articles 20-25 of Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.

   ANNEX P.1

   VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING

   1.

   Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)

   A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters^f2. A VKM is inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the European Vehicle Number. The VKM identifies the Vehicle Keeper as registered in a National Vehicle Register.

   A VKM is unique and valid in all countries covered by this TSI and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and Vehicle Keeper Marking as described in this TSI.

   2.

   Format of the Vehicle Keeper Marking

   The VKM is representation of the full name or abbreviation of the vehicle keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. All 26 letters of the Latina alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM are written in capitals. Letters that do not stand for first letters of words in the keeper’s name may be written in lower case. For checking uniqueness, the letters written in lower case will be taken as written in capitals.

   Letters may contain diacritical signs^f3. Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.

   For vehicles kept by keepers that reside in a country that does not use the Latin alphabet, a translation of the VKM in its own alphabet may be applied behind the VKM separated from it by a slash-sign (“/”). This translated VKM is disregarded for data-processing purposes.

   3.

   Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper Markings

   A vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:

   • the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,

   • a vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.

   A single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:

   • that belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),

   • that belong to a single corporate structure that has appointed and mandated one organisation within this structure to handle all issues on behalf of all others,

   • that has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.

   4.

   Register of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocation

   The register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.

   An application for a VKM is filed with the applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.

   The holder of a VKM must inform the competent national authority when he ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority will forward the information to the ERA. A VKM will then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It will not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.

   A VKM can be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM stays valid when the VKM’s holder changes his name to a name that does not bear resemblance to the VKM.

   ANNEX P.2

   INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK

   1.

   General arrangements for external markings

   The capital letters and figures making up the marking inscriptions shall be at least 80 mm in height, in a sans serif font type of correspondence quality. A smaller height may only be used where there is no option but to place the marking on the sole bars.

   The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.

   2.

   Wagons

   The marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:

   23	TEN
   80	D-RFC
   7369		553-4
   Zcs
   31	TEN
   80	D-DB
   0691		235-2
   Tanoos
   33	TEN
   84	NL-ACTS
   4796		100-8
   Slpss

   For wagons whose bodywork does not offer a large enough area for this type of arrangement, particularly in the case of flat wagons, the marking shall be arranged as follows:

   01 87 3320 644-7
   TEN	F-SNCF	Ks

   When one or more index letters with a national definition are inscribed on a wagon, this national marking must be shown after the international letter marking and separated from it by a hyphen as follows:

   01 87 3320 644-7
   TEN	F-SNCF	Ks-xy

   3.

   Coaches and hauled passenger stock

   The number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:

   F-SNCF	61 87 20 - 72 021 - 7
   	B10 tu

   The marking of the country in which the vehicle is registered and of the technical characteristics are printed directly in front of, behind or under the European Vehicle number.

   In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.

   4.

   Locomotives, power cars and special vehicles

   The European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:

   92 10 1108 062-6

   The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.

   The keeper can add, in letters of larger size than the European Vehicle Number, an own number marking (consisting generally of digits of the serial number supplemented by alphabetical coding) useful in operations. The place where the own number is marked is left to the choice of the keeper; however it must always be possible to identify easily the EVN from the keeper’s own number marking.

   ANNEX P.3

   RULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)

   The check-digit is determined in the following manner:

   • the digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value,

   • the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2,

   • the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established,

   • the units digit of this sum is retained,

   • the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought.

   Examples

   1 —

   Let the basic number be	3	3	8	4	4	7	9	6	1	0	0
   Multiplication factor	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2
   	6	3	16	4	8	7	18	6	2	0	0

   Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52

   The units digit of this sum is 2.

   The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 - 8.

   2 —

   Let the basic number be	3	1	5	1	3	3	2	0	1	9	8
   Multiplication factor	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2
   	6	1	10	1	6	3	4	0	2	9	16

   Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40

   The units digit of this sum is 0.

   The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 - 0.

   IM’s role

   The IM shall inform the RU about the braking performance required for each route and has to provide information about the route characteristics. The IM has to ensure that the impact of the route characteristics and track-side related margins are included in the required braking performance.

   The required braking performance shall in principle be expressed in brake weight percentage unless the IM and RU have agreed on another unit to express the braking performance (e.g. braked tonnes, brake forces, deceleration values, deceleration profiles).

   For train sets and fixed train compositions the IM shall deliver the braking performance requirements in deceleration values if so requested by the RU.

   RU’s role

   The RU shall ensure that each train satisfies or exceeds the braking performance required by the IM. Therefore the RU shall calculate the braking performance of a train taking into account the train composition.

   The RU must take into account the vehicle or train set braking performance determined when placed in service. Rolling Stock-related margins like reliability and availability of the brakes have to be considered. The RU must also take into account the information about route characteristics which affect the train behaviour when tuning the braking performance for stopping and securing a train.

   The braking performance resulting from the checking of the actual train (like train composition, brake availability, brake settings) will be used as an input value for any operational rule to be subsequently applied to the train.

   Braking performance not achieved

   The IM has to set up rules to be used if a train does not reach the required braking performance and has to make these rules available to the RUs.

   If a train does not reach the braking performance required for the routes the train shall run, the RU has to respect the resulting constraints like speed restriction.

      Staff and trains

      Sections 4.6 and 4.7 apply to those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of accompanying a train, when this involves crossing a border(s) between states and working beyond any location(s) designated as the “frontier” in the Network Statement of an Infrastructure Manager and included in his safety authorisation.

      Section “4.6.2 Linguistic Competence” applies additionally to train drivers as stipulated by Annex VI point 8 of Directive 2007/59/EC.

      A staff member will not be considered as crossing a border if the activity only involves working as far as any “frontier” locations as described in the first paragraph of this section.

      For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of despatching trains and authorising train movements, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and health and safety conditions between Member States will apply.

      For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks associated with the last preparation of a train before it is scheduled to cross a border(s) and work beyond any “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section, subsection 4.6 will apply with mutual recognition between Member States of health and safety conditions. A train will not be considered to be a cross border service, if all the vehicles of the train crossing the state border cross it only to the “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section.

      This can be summarised in the following tables:

   ANNEX P

   VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

   1.

   General remarks

   This Annex describes the European Vehicle Number and linked marking applied in a visible manner on the vehicle to identify it uniquely and in a permanent manner during operation. It does not describe other numbers or markings eventually engraved or fixed in a permanent manner on the chassis or the main components of the vehicle during its construction.

   2.

   European Vehicle number and linked abbreviations

   Each railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:

   Rolling stock group	Interoperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]	Country in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]	Technical characteristics[4 figures]	Serial number[3 figures]	Check digit[1 figure]
   Wagons	00 to 09 10 to 19 20 to 29 30 to 39 40 to 49 80 to 89 [details in Annex P.6]	01 to 99 [details in Annex P.4]	0000 to 9999 [details in Annex P.9]	000 to 999	0 to 9 [details in Annex P.3]
   Hauled passenger vehicles	50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 79 [details in Annex P.7]		0000 to 9999 [details in Annex P.10]	000 to 999
   Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation	90 to 99 [details in Annex P.8]		0000000 to 8999999 [the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]
   Special vehicles			9000 to 9999 [details in Annex P.11]	000 to 999

   In a given country, the 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles^f1.

   Alphabetical markings complete the number:

   1. (a)

      markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);

   2. (b)

      abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);

   3. (c)

      Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);

   4. (d)

      abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).

   3.

   Allocation of number

   The European Vehicle Number has to be allocated according to the rules laid down in Commission Decision 2007/756/EC of 9 November 2007 adopting a common specification of the national vehicle register provided for under Articles 14(4) and (5) of Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.

   The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Annex due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service according to Articles 20-25 of Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.

   ANNEX P.1

   VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING

   1.

   Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)

   A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters^f2. A VKM is inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the European Vehicle Number. The VKM identifies the Vehicle Keeper as registered in a National Vehicle Register.

   A VKM is unique and valid in all countries covered by this TSI and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and Vehicle Keeper Marking as described in this TSI.

   2.

   Format of the Vehicle Keeper Marking

   The VKM is representation of the full name or abbreviation of the vehicle keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. All 26 letters of the Latina alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM are written in capitals. Letters that do not stand for first letters of words in the keeper’s name may be written in lower case. For checking uniqueness, the letters written in lower case will be taken as written in capitals.

   Letters may contain diacritical signs^f3. Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.

   For vehicles kept by keepers that reside in a country that does not use the Latin alphabet, a translation of the VKM in its own alphabet may be applied behind the VKM separated from it by a slash-sign (“/”). This translated VKM is disregarded for data-processing purposes.

   3.

   Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper Markings

   A vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:

   • the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,

   • a vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.

   A single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:

   • that belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),

   • that belong to a single corporate structure that has appointed and mandated one organisation within this structure to handle all issues on behalf of all others,

   • that has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.

   4.

   Register of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocation

   The register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.

   An application for a VKM is filed with the applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.

   The holder of a VKM must inform the competent national authority when he ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority will forward the information to the ERA. A VKM will then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It will not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.

   A VKM can be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM stays valid when the VKM’s holder changes his name to a name that does not bear resemblance to the VKM.

   ANNEX P.2

   INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK

   1.

   General arrangements for external markings

   The capital letters and figures making up the marking inscriptions shall be at least 80 mm in height, in a sans serif font type of correspondence quality. A smaller height may only be used where there is no option but to place the marking on the sole bars.

   The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.

   2.

   Wagons

   The marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:

   23	TEN
   80	D-RFC
   7369		553-4
   Zcs
   31	TEN
   80	D-DB
   0691		235-2
   Tanoos
   33	TEN
   84	NL-ACTS
   4796		100-8
   Slpss

   For wagons whose bodywork does not offer a large enough area for this type of arrangement, particularly in the case of flat wagons, the marking shall be arranged as follows:

   01 87 3320 644-7
   TEN	F-SNCF	Ks

   When one or more index letters with a national definition are inscribed on a wagon, this national marking must be shown after the international letter marking and separated from it by a hyphen as follows:

   01 87 3320 644-7
   TEN	F-SNCF	Ks-xy

   3.

   Coaches and hauled passenger stock

   The number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:

   F-SNCF	61 87 20 - 72 021 - 7
   	B10 tu

   The marking of the country in which the vehicle is registered and of the technical characteristics are printed directly in front of, behind or under the European Vehicle number.

   In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.

   4.

   Locomotives, power cars and special vehicles

   The European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:

   92 10 1108 062-6

   The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.

   The keeper can add, in letters of larger size than the European Vehicle Number, an own number marking (consisting generally of digits of the serial number supplemented by alphabetical coding) useful in operations. The place where the own number is marked is left to the choice of the keeper; however it must always be possible to identify easily the EVN from the keeper’s own number marking.

   ANNEX P.3

   RULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)

   The check-digit is determined in the following manner:

   • the digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value;

   • the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2;

   • the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established;

   • the units digit of this sum is retained;

   • the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought.

   Examples

   1 —

   Let the basic number be	3	3	8	4	4	7	9	6	1	0	0
   Multiplication factor	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2
   	6	3	16	4	8	7	18	6	2	0	0

   Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52

   The units digit of this sum is 2.

   The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 - 8.

   2 —

   Let the basic number be	3	1	5	1	3	3	2	0	1	9	8
   Multiplication factor	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2	1	2
   	6	1	10	1	6	3	4	0	2	9	16

   Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40

   The units digit of this sum is 0.

   The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 - 0.

   Notes:

   (a)

   Vehicles marked TEN correspond to coding 0 to 3 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.

   (b)

   Vehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised. The list of authorising MS should be marked according to one of the following drawings, where D stands for the MS who has granted the first authorisation (in the given example, Germany) and F stands for the second authorising MS (in the given example, France). The MS are codified in accordance with Annex P4. This may cover vehicles which are TSI compliant or which are not. These vehicles correspond to coding 4 or 8 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.
