  "heading": "Checking for multiple alerts on a vehicle",
  "text": "The mandatory identity description elements for alerts on a vehicle are:\nthe registration/number plate, and/or\nthe vehicle identification number (VIN).\nBoth numbers may feature in the SIS.\nChecks for multiple alerts are made by comparing numbers. If, when entering a new alert, it is found that the same serial number and/or registration plate number already exist in the SIS, it is assumed that the new alert will result in multiple alerts on the same vehicle. However, this method of verification is effective only where the description elements used are the same. Comparison is therefore not always possible.\nThe SIRENE bureau shall draw the national users’ attention to the problems which may arise where only one of the numbers has been compared. A positive response does not mean automatically that there is a hit, and a negative response does not mean that there is no alert on the vehicle.\nThe identity description elements used for establishing whether two vehicle entries are identical are detailed in Annex 6 to this Manual.\nThe consultation procedures to be applied by the SIRENE bureaux for vehicles shall be the same as for persons. For general procedures see Section 2.1.\nThe SIRENE bureau of the Member State issuing an alert shall maintain a record of any requests to enter a further alert which, after consultation, have been rejected by virtue of the provisions given above, until the alert is deleted.",
