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.\n2.\nEuropean Vehicle number and linked abbreviations\nEach railway vehicle receives a number consisting of 12 figures (called European Vehicle Number (EVN)) with the following structure:\nRolling stock group\nInteroperability capability and vehicle type[2 figures]\nCountry in which the vehicle is registered[2 figures]\nTechnical characteristics[4 figures]\nSerial number[3 figures]\nCheck digit[1 figure]\nWagons\n00 to 09\n10 to 19\n20 to 29\n30 to 39\n40 to 49\n80 to 89\n[details in Annex P.6]\n01 to 99\n[details in Annex P.4]\n0000 to 9999\n[details in Annex P.9]\n000 to 999\n0 to 9\n[details in Annex P.3]\nHauled passenger vehicles\n50 to 59\n60 to 69\n70 to 79\n[details in Annex P.7]\n0000 to 9999\n[details in Annex P.10]\n000 to 999\nTractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation\n90 to 99\n[details in Annex P.8]\n0000000 to 8999999\n[the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]\nSpecial vehicles\n9000 to 9999\n[details in Annex P.11]\n000 to 999\nIn 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.\nAlphabetical markings complete the number:\n(a) markings linked to the interoperability ability (details in Annex P.5);\n(b) abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in Annex P.4);\n(c) Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in Annex P.1);\n(d) abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in Annex P.12 for the wagons, Annex P.13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).\n3.\nAllocation of number\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nANNEX P.1\nVEHICLE KEEPER MARKING\n1.\nDefinition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)\nA Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters. 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.\nA 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.\n2.\nFormat of the Vehicle Keeper Marking\nThe 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.\nLetters may contain diacritical signs. Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.\nFor 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.\n3.\nProvisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper Markings\nA vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:\nthe vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,\na vehicle keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.\nA single VKM can be issued for a group of companies:\nthat belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure),\nthat 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,\nthat has mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf, in which event the legal entity is the keeper.\n4.\nRegister of Vehicle Keeper Markings and procedure for allocation\nThe register of VKM is public and updated on a real time basis.\nAn 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.\nThe 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.\nA 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.\nANNEX P.2\nINSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK\n1.\nGeneral arrangements for external markings\nThe 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.\nThe marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.\n2.\nWagons\nThe marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:\n23\nTEN\n80\nD-RFC\n7369\n553-4\nZcs\n31\nTEN\n80\nD-DB\n0691\n235-2\nTanoos\n33\nTEN\n84\nNL-ACTS\n4796\n100-8\nSlpss\nFor 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:\n01 87 3320 644-7\nTEN\nF-SNCF\nKs\nWhen 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:\n01 87 3320 644-7\nTEN\nF-SNCF\nKs-xy\n3.\nCoaches and hauled passenger stock\nThe number shall be applied to each sidewall of the vehicle in the following manner:\nF-SNCF\n61 87 20 - 72 021 - 7\nB10 tu\nThe 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.\nIn case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.\n4.\nLocomotives, power cars and special vehicles\nThe European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:\n92 10 1108 062-6\nThe European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.\nThe 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.\nANNEX P.3\nRULES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHECK-DIGIT (DIGIT 12)\nThe check-digit is determined in the following manner:\nthe digits in the even positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value;\nthe digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2;\nthe 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;\nthe units digit of this sum is retained;\nthe 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.\nExamples\n1 —\nLet the basic number be\n3\n3\n8\n4\n4\n7\n9\n6\n1\n0\n0\nMultiplication factor\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n6\n3\n16\n4\n8\n7\n18\n6\n2\n0\n0\nSum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 52\nThe units digit of this sum is 2.\nThe check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 84 4796 100 - 8.\n2 —\nLet the basic number be\n3\n1\n5\n1\n3\n3\n2\n0\n1\n9\n8\nMultiplication factor\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n1\n2\n6\n1\n10\n1\n6\n3\n4\n0\n2\n9\n16\nSum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 6 = 40\nThe units digit of this sum is 0.\nThe check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 51 3320 198 - 0.\nANNEX P.4\nCODING OF THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE VEHICLES ARE REGISTERED (DIGITS 3-4 AND ABBREVIATION)\nThe Information relating to third countries is given for information purposes only.\nAccording to the alphabetical coding system described in Appendix 4 to the 1949 convention and Article 45(4) of the 1968 convention on road traffic.\nCountries\nAlphabetical country code\nNumerical country code\nAlbania\nAL\n41\nAlgeria\nDZ\n92\nArmenia\nAM\n58\nAustria\nA\n81\nAzerbaijan\nAZ\n57\nBelarus\nBY\n21\nBelgium\nB\n88\nBosnia-Herzegovina\nBIH\n49\nBulgaria\nBG\n52\nChina\nRC\n33\nCroatia\nHR\n78\nCuba\nCU\n40\nCyprus\nCY\nCzech Republic\nCZ\n54\nDenmark\nDK\n86\nEgypt\nET\n90\nEstonia\nEST\n26\nFinland\nFIN\n10\nFrance\nF\n87\nGeorgia\nGE\n28\nGermany\nD\n80\nGreece\nGR\n73\nHungary\nH\n55\nIran\nIR\n96\nIraq\nIRQ\n99\nIreland\nIRL\n60\nIsrael\nIL\n95\nItaly\nI\n83\nJapan\nJ\n42\nKazakhstan\nKZ\n27\nKyrgyzstan\nKS\n59\nLatvia\nLV\n25\nLebanon\nRL\n98\nLiechtenstein\nFL\nLithuania\nLT\n24\nLuxembourg\nL\n82\nMacedonia\nMK\n65\nMalta\nM\nMoldova\nMD\n23\nMonaco\nMC\nMongolia\nMGL\n31\nMontenegro\nME\n62\nMorocco\nMA\n93\nNetherlands\nNL\n84\nNorth Korea\nPRK\n30\nNorway\nN\n76\nPoland\nPL\n51\nPortugal\nP\n94\nRomania\nRO\n53\nRussia\nRUS\n20\nSerbia\nSRB\n72\nSlovakia\nSK\n56\nSlovenia\nSLO\n79\nSouth Korea\nROK\n61\nSpain\nE\n71\nSweden\nSE\n74\nSwitzerland\nCH\n85\nSyria\nSYR\n97\nTajikistan\nTJ\n66\nTunisia\nTN\n91\nTurkey\nTR\n75\nTurkmenistan\nTM\n67\nUkraine\nUA\n22\nUnited Kingdom\nGB\n70\nUzbekistan\nUZ\n29\nVietnam\nVN\n32\nANNEX P.5\nALPHABETICAL MARKING OF THE INTEROPERABILITY CAPABILITY\n“TEN” Vehicle which complies with the following conditions:\nit complies with all relevant TSIs which are in force at the moment of placing in service and has been authorised to be placed in service according to Article 22(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,\nit is provided with an authorisation valid in all Member States in accordance with Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, or, as an alternative, it has received individual authorisations by all Member States.\n“PPV/PPW” Vehicle which complies with PPV/PPW or PGW agreement (inside OSJD States)\n(original: PPV/PPW:ППВ (Правила пользования вагонами в международном сообщении; PGW: Правила Пользования Грузовыми Вагонами)\nNotes:\n(a)\nVehicles marked TEN correspond to coding 0 to 3 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.\n(b)\nVehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised.
