4 Part 1 Purpose and Introduction 1.1 Purpose This document mandates the process and the data required for registering rail vehicles; the numbering system to be used to identify rail vehicles; and the data to be displayed on rail vehicles. It also implements requirements introduced through European legislation applicable to the National Vehicle Register (NVR) and the European Register of Authorised Types of Vehicles (). 1.2 Introduction Background The implementation of the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) mandated through a series of European Union (EU) Directives has resulted in a review of all requirements set out in s Under the implementation of the s Code, has given a commitment to review all of its standards with a view to mandate only those requirements that define the interface and the need for co-operation between railway undertakings and infrastructure managers to manage risk safely A review of the requirements set out in a suite of standards associated with registration of, identification of and data to be displayed on rail vehicles has resulted in a revised on this topic This document also incorporates requirements applicable to the mandated by a number of TSIs and the NVR as set out in EU Commission Decision 2011/107/EU Principles This document is based on the following principles: a) This document sets out those requirements that necessitate railway undertakings and infrastructure managers to co-operate in order to safely manage the risks associated with the process for registration of, identification of and data to be displayed on rail vehicles. b) This document sets out those requirements that are necessary to support an open point in a TSI and meet an essential requirement of the relevant EU Directive or support an EU Commission Decision that are enacted through UK legislation. c) This document sets out those requirements that are necessary for interworking on non-tsi compliant GB infrastructure National Vehicle Register EU Commission Decision 2011/107/EU mandates requirements for the NVR. This supports the existing EU Directives applicable to interoperability Article 1 of the EU Commission Decision 2011/107/EU mandates requirements for a common specification of the NVR via the Annex to the Decision. When a vehicle is authorised for placing into service by the National Safety Authority (NSA) of the member state (in GB this is by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR)), an entry is mandated on the NVR.

5 Article 3 of the EU Commission Decision 2011/107/EU mandates that member states register existing vehicles on the NVR. The previous EU Commission Decision 2007/756/EC set out the following timescales: a) Rail vehicles used in international traffic by 09 November b) Rail vehicles used in domestic traffic by 09 November Article 3 of the EU Commission Decision 2011/107/EU also requires the registered business number of the entity in charge of maintenance of the vehicle to be recorded in the NVR by the following date a) All rail vehicles by 31 December The secretary of state has designated Network Rail Infrastructure Limited as the appointed Registration Entity (RE) to establish and maintain the NVR The NVR data for new and existing rail vehicles is a sub-set of the data in Appendix B of this document. The NVR data submitted to the Rolling Stock Library (RSL) is then provided to the RE to populate the NVR European Register of Authorised Types of Vehicles A number of TSIs mandate data to be maintained in the Rolling Stock Register (RSR), now known as. Appendix B of this document sets out the current known requirements of. The specified data is a sub-set of the data submitted to the RSL Rolling Stock Library RSL is an established database managed by ATOS Origin on behalf of Network Rail Infrastructure Limited containing information describing all rail vehicles registered to operate on the mainline railway This document sets out information required to be contained in the RSL primarily for operational purposes. This information is necessary to enable national operating systems to function such as TOPS, GEINI and GENIUS Identification of rail vehicles Article 33 of Directive 2008/57/EC mandates that all rail vehicles placed into service are allocated a numeric identification code (the European vehicle number (EVN)). This document mandates a common approach to allocating rail vehicle numbers to ensure compatibility with railway operating systems. In addition, the allocation of an EVN for existing vehicles is also required, although the display of such numbers on vehicles is to a separate timescale This document also supports the Conventional Rail Traffic Operation and anagement TSI () Annex P which mandates the allocation of an EVN and the display of the EVN, applied in a visible manner on the vehicle to uniquely identify it To ensure that there is no duplication of registered rail vehicle or multiple unit set identification numbers, the allocation of all rail vehicle and multiple unit set numbers including any prefixes / classes is undertaken by the RSL Data to be displayed on rail vehicles Data to be displayed on rail vehicles enables authorised personnel to have access to data about rail vehicles to ensure safe rail operations when national operating systems such as TOPS, GEINI and GENIUS are unavailable.

7 Part 2 Requirements for the Identification of Rail Vehicles 2.1 Allocation of the European Vehicle Number The Annex P sets out the requirements for all rail vehicles to be uniquely identified by an EVN. The numbering rules for the allocation of an EVN when a vehicle is first registered in GB are set out in Appendix A The RSL validates the technical characteristic element of the EVN with the European Rail Agency (ERA) where applicable For infrastructure maintenance vehicles, hauled passenger coaching stock and wagons, the use of technical characteristic codes within the EVN results in the vehicle being allocated a different number to that originally allocated on RSL. 2.2 Allocation of multiple unit set identification numbers In addition to the rail vehicle numbers within a multiple unit set, the set itself shall carry a unique number in a separate series from the rail vehicle numbers. This multiple unit set identification number shall consist of a three-digit class identifier (for example 465) followed by a three-digit individual unit identifier (for example ). ultiple unit set identification numbering rules are set out in Appendix A. 2.3 Advanced reservation of rail vehicle and multiple unit set identification numbers Where a rail vehicle is to be built or renumbered following refurbishment / major modification, it is permissible to request the RSL to reserve identification numbers for the rail vehicle and multiple unit set The RSL reserves rail vehicle numbers for a maximum period of three years. After this period, the rail vehicle numbers are withdrawn by the RSL when they have not been allocated to a rail vehicle. 2.4 Reallocation of rail vehicle and multiple unit set identification numbers It is permissible to reallocate a rail vehicle or multiple unit set identification number. Generally this occurs if the reserved rail vehicle or multiple unit set number has not been used on an actual vehicle It is permissible to reallocate a rail vehicle or multiple unit set identification number where it is known that the vehicle has been scrapped and it has been de-registered for a period of at least three years. 2.5 Vehicle Keeper arking The identity of the vehicle keeper is recorded in the NVR. The Annex P.1 sets out the process for the allocation and registering of the Vehicle Keeper arking (VK). Page 7 of 49

8 Part 3 Requirements for the Registration of Rail Vehicles in the Rolling Stock Library 3.1 General registration of rail vehicles Rail vehicles shall be registered in the RSL. Table 1 sets out the different registration status within the RSL. Not in working order In working order In working order Not in use Not in use In use Not authorised for placing into service Status Z Status A Status B N/A Authorised for placing into service Status I N/A Status C Table 1 Registration status within RSL Railway undertakings shall only operate rail vehicles on the mainline railway that are registered in the RSL as either: a) Status B (in working order, not authorised for placing into service, not in use). Or b) Status C (in working order, authorised for placing into service, in use). 3.2 Registration status of rail vehicles in the Rolling Stock Library Status Z (number allocated) When it is intended to purchase new rail vehicles, it is permissible to request the RSL to reserve vehicle numbers and place those vehicles not yet constructed into status Z Status A (on order / under construction) It is permissible to request the RSL to register a rail vehicle on order / undergoing construction into status A The rail vehicle data set out in Appendix B shall be supplied to the RSL to support a request for a rail vehicle to be registered as status A Status B (in working order, not authorised for placing into service, not in use) Rail vehicle(s) undergoing initial transfer or testing on the mainline railway shall be registered as status B. An example of the initial transfer is the transit move from the vehicle manufacturer to the keeper or railway undertaking. Page 8 of 49

9 To register a rail vehicle as status B, the RSL shall be provided with all of the following: a) The statement of compatibility (SOCAT) relating to the initial transfer or testing on the mainline railway. GE/RT8270 sets out the requirements for the assessment of compatibility for rolling stock and infrastructure. b) The certificate of engineering acceptance or the intermediate statement of verification (ISV) covering the initial transfer or testing on the mainline railway. c) The rail vehicle data set out in Appendix B for the rail vehicle to be registered, where this has not previously been supplied Status C (in working order, authorised for placing into service, in use) To register a rail vehicle as status C, the RSL shall be provided with all of the following: a) The ORR letter of authorisation for a rail vehicle or a fleet of rail vehicles placed into service in GB. b) The SOCAT. GE/RT8270 sets out the requirements for the assessment of compatibility for rolling stock and infrastructure. c) The certificate of engineering acceptance or the ISV. d) The rail vehicle data set out in Appendix B for the rail vehicle to be registered, where this has not previously been supplied. Additionally all relevant updates of the data since any earlier submission. e) The completed registration forms which are provided by RSL, for example RSL EA Where rail vehicles are delivered in batches, it is permissible to list the applicable range of rail vehicles on the certificate of engineering acceptance or ISV. All rail vehicles in the range shall be registered as status C A fleet certificate allows a whole fleet of rail vehicles to be notified on a single certificate of engineering acceptance or ISV. It is permissible to register individual or batches of those rail vehicles as status C on receipt of the RSL EA4 forms provided by the RSL Status I (not in working order, authorised for placing into service, not in use) Rail vehicles shall be transferred to status I for any of the following reasons: a) The rail vehicle maintenance plan is not being implemented. b) Expiry, withdrawal, or suspension of an existing certificate of engineering acceptance or ISV. c) Expiry, withdrawal, or suspension of a SOCAT or a previously issued certificate of authority to operate The requirements to reinstate a rail vehicle to status C are set out in Where documentation and data set out in is still valid, there is no requirement to supply replacements for this information.
