Commission Decision
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
(notified under document number C(2007) 5357)
(2007/756/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system1, and in particular Articles 14(4) and (5) thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2001/16/EC of 19 March 2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system2, and in particular Articles 14(4) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
Where Member States authorise the placing in service of rolling stock, they have to ensure that an identification code is assigned to each individual vehicle. This code should then be entered in a national vehicle register (hereafter NVR). This register must be accessible for consultation by authorised representatives from competent authorities and stakeholders. The different national registers should be consistent as regards data contents and data formatting. This requires their establishment on the basis of common operational and technical specifications.
The common specifications for the NVR should be adopted on the basis of the draft specification prepared by the European Railway Agency (hereafter the Agency). These draft specifications should include in particular the definition of: the content, the functional and technical architecture, the data format, the operating modes, including rules for data input and consultation.
The NVR of a Member State should contain all vehicles authorised in that Member State. However freight wagons and passenger cars should be only registered in the NVR of the Member State where they are first placed in service.
A standard form should be used for purposes of vehicles registration, confirmation of registration, alteration of registration item(s) and confirmation of the change(s).
Each Member State should establish a computer-based NVR. All NVRs should be linked to a central Virtual Vehicle Register (hereafter VVR) managed by the Agency in order to establish the register of documents on interoperability provided for Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 881/20043. The VVR should allow users to search all NVRs through a single portal and enable exchange of data between national NVRs. However, for technical reasons, the link to the VVR cannot be set up immediately. Therefore, Member States should only be required to connect their NVRs to the central VVR once the effective functioning of the VVR has been demonstrated. To this end, the Agency will carry out a pilot project.
According to item No 8 of the minutes of the meeting No 40 of the Regulatory Committee established under Article 21 of Directive 2001/16/EC, all existing vehicles should be registered in the NVR of the Member State where they were formerly registered. The transfer of data should take into account an adequate transition period and data availability.
In accordance with Article 14(4)(b) of Directive 96/48/EC and Article 14(4)(b) of Directive 2001/16/EC, the NVR should be kept and updated by a body independent of any railway undertaking. Member States should inform the Commission and the other Member States of the body which they have designated for this purpose, inter alia, in order to facilitate the exchange of information between these bodies.
Some Member States have an extensive 1 520 mm gauge network operating a fleet of wagons that is common to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. This has resulted in a common registration system that is an important element of the interoperability and safety of this 1 520 mm network. This specific situation should be recognized and specific rules established to avoid lack of consistency in the EU- and CIS-related obligations for the same vehicle.
The rules laid down in Annex P of the TSI on traffic operations and management are applicable with regard to the numbering system of vehicles for the purpose of registration in the NVR. The Agency will develop a guide for the harmonised application of these rules.
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 21 of Directive 96/48/EC,

3. OPERATING MODE
3.1. Use of the NVR
The NVR is to be used for the following purposes:
recording authorisation,
recording the EVN allocated to vehicles,
F18...
following up legal aspects such as obligations and legal information,
retrieving information for inspections mainly related to safety and maintenance,
enabling contact with the owner and keeper,
cross-checking some safety requirements before issuing Safety Certificates,
following up a particular vehicle.
3.2. Application forms
F43.2.1. Application for registration
The form in Appendix 4 shall be used for the application for registration.
The entity applying for vehicle registration shall tick the ‘New registration’ box. It shall fill in the form and forward it F19to the RE.
3.2.2. Registering a vehicle and issuing a European Vehicle Number.
In the case of first registration, the RE concerned issues the European Vehicle number.
It is possible to have a separate registration form per vehicle or a single form for a whole set of vehicles of the same series or order with a list of the vehicle numbers attached.
The RE must take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the data it enters in the NVR. F20...
3.2.3. Changing one or more registration item(s)
The entity applying for a change to its vehicle registration item(s):
ticks the ‘Modification’ box,
fills in the current EVN (item No 0),
ticks the box(es) before the modified item(s),
enters the new content of the modified item(s), and then forwards the form to the F21RE.
The use of the standard form might not be sufficient for certain cases. If necessary, the RE concerned may therefore submit additional documents in either paper or electronic form.
Unless otherwise specified in the registration documents, the keeper of the vehicle is considered to be the F22owner of the vehicle referred to in regulation 36(8) of the 2011 Regulations.
Should a keeper change, it is the responsibility of the currently registered keeper to notify the RE and the RE has to notify the new keeper of the change of registration. The former keeper is removed from the NVR and relieved of its responsibilities only when the new keeper has acknowledged its acceptance of keeper status. If on the date of de-registration of the currently registered keeper no new keeper has accepted the keeper status, the registration of the vehicle is suspended.
In cases where, in accordance with the F23OPE NTSN, due to technical changes, the vehicle has to be given a new EVN, the F24owner of the vehicle shall inform the RE of these changes and, if applicable, of the new authorisation for placing in service F25.... This RE shall assign to the vehicle a new EVN.
F5The RE shall register the changes in the NVR within 20 working days from the receipt of a complete application file. The RE shall, within this deadline, either register the vehicle or request correction/clarification.
3.2.4. Withdrawal of registration
The entity applying for withdrawal of registration ticks the ‘Withdrawal’ box. It then fills in item No 10 and forwards the form to the F26RE.
The RE delivers the withdrawal registration by filling in the date of withdrawal and acknowledging the withdrawal to the entity.
F273.2.5.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
F53.2.6. Transfer of registration and change of EVN
1.
The EVN shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics in accordance with Appendix 6 due to technical modifications of the vehicle. Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service F28... or a new authorisation for placing on the market and, where appropriate, a new vehicle type authorisation, in accordance with F29the 2011 Regulations. The keeper shall inform the RE F30with which the vehicle is registered of those changes and, if applicable, of the new authorisation for placing in service or of a new authorisation for placing on the market. That RE shall assign to the vehicle a new EVN.

3.4. Historical records
All data in the NVR must be retained for 10 years from the date of withdrawal of a vehicle registration. As a minimum, data must be available online for the first 3 years. After 3 years, data may be kept either electronically, in paper form or in any other archiving system. If at any time during the 10-year period an investigation involving a vehicle or vehicles is started, data relating to these vehicles must be retained beyond the 10-year period if so required.
After withdrawal of a vehicle registration, any of the registration numbers assigned to the vehicle must not be assigned to any other vehicle for 100 years from the date the vehicle is withdrawn.
Any changes in the NVR should be recorded. The management of historical changes could be addressed by IT solutions.

00 | None | The vehicle has a valid registration. |
10 | Registration suspended No reason specified | The vehicle’s registration is suspended at the request of the owner or keeper or by a decision of the F63Safety Authority or RE. |
11 | Registration suspended | The vehicle is destined for storage in working order as an inactive or strategic reserve. |
20 | Registration transferred | The vehicle is known to be reregistered under a different number or by a different NVR, for continued use on (all or part of) the F64UK railway network. |
30 | Withdrawal No reason specified | The vehicle’s registration for operating on the F64UK railway network has ended without known reregistration. |
31 | F65. . . | F65. . . |
32 | Withdrawal | The vehicle is destined for the recovery of major interoperable constituents/modules/spares or major rebuilding. |
33 | Withdrawal | The vehicle is destined for scrapping and disposal of materials (including major spares) for recycling. |
34 | F65. . . | F65. . . |
Use of codes
If the reason for withdrawal is not specified, codes 10, 20 and 30 are to be used to indicate the change of registration status.
If the reason for withdrawal is available, codes 11, F6632 and 33 are options available within the NVR database. These codes are based solely on information provided by the keeper or owner to the RE.
Registration issues
A vehicle that has its registration suspended or withdrawn may not operate on the F67UK railway network under the recorded registration.
A reactivation of a registration after suspension will require the verification by the registration entity of the conditions which caused the suspension.
A transfer of registration under the conditions set out in F68the OPE NTSN, consists of a new registration of the vehicle and subsequent withdrawal of the old registration.

PART ‘ 0 ’ — VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
General remarks
This appendix 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.
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 part 6] | 01 to 99 [details in part 4] | 0000 to 9999 [details in part 9] | 000 to 999 | 0 to 9 [details in part 3] |
Hauled passenger vehicles | 50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 79 [details in part 7] | 0000 to 9999 [details in part 10] | 000 to 999 | ||
Tractive rolling stock and units in a train set in fixed or pre-defined formation | 90 to 99 [details in part 8] | 0000000 to 8999999 F89... | |||
Special vehicles | 9000 to 9999 [details in part 11] | 000 to 999 | |||
F90The 7 digits of technical characteristics and serial number are sufficient to identify uniquely a vehicle inside the groups of hauled passenger vehicles and special vehicles21.
Alphabetical markings complete the number:
- (a)
F91...
- (b)
Vehicle Keeper Marking (details in part 1) ;
- (c)
abbreviations of the technical characteristics (details in part 12 for the wagons, part 13 for the hauled passenger vehicles).
The European Vehicle Number shall be changed when it does not reflect the interoperability capability or technical characteristics according to this Appendix due to technical modifications of the vehicle. F92Such technical modifications may require a new authorisation for placing in service in accordance with regulation 13 of the 2011 Regulations.
PART 1 — VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING
F41. Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)
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.
F94...
3. Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper Markings
A vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:
F95...
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 F96Safety Authority. F97...
The holder of a VKM must inform the F98Safety Authority when he ends the use of a VKM F99.... 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.
In case of a change of keeper which entails a change of VKM, the vehicles concerned must be marked with the new VKM within three months from the date of registration of the change of keeper in the National Vehicle Register. In case of inconsistency between the VKM marked on the vehicle and the data registered in the NVR, the NVR-registration supersedes.

PART 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 unit’s digit of this sum is retained;
the complement required to bring the unit’s 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 unit’s 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 unit’s 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.
