in point 4.2.2.3, the following paragraph is added: ‘Units intended to be used for combined transport and requiring a wagon compatibility code shall be equipped with devices for securing the Intermodal Loading Unit.’;
(10) point 4.2.3.1 is amended as follows: (a) the second and third paragraphs are replaced by the following: ‘The compliance of a unit with the intended reference profile including the reference profile for the lower part shall be established by one of the methods set out in the specification referenced in Appendix D Index [4].
The kinematic method, as described in the specification referenced in Appendix D Index [4] shall be used to establish conformity, if any, between the reference profile established for the unit and the respective target reference profiles G1, GA, GB and GC including those used for the lower part GI1 and GI2.’; (b) the following paragraph is added: ‘Units intended to be used for combined transport shall be codified in accordance with the requirements of Appendix H and the specification referenced in Appendix D.2, index [B].’; (11) in point 4.2.3.2, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The permissible payload a unit may carry, for axle loads up to and including 25 t, shall be determined by application of the specification referenced in Appendix D Index [5].’; (12) point 4.2.3.3 is replaced by the following: ‘4.2.3.3.
Compatibility with train detection systems If the unit is intended to be compatible with one or more of the following train detection systems, this compatibility shall be established in accordance with the provisions of the technical document referenced in Appendix D.2 Index [A]: (a) train detection systems based on track circuits (the electrical resistance of the wheelset can be assessed at IC level or at vehicle level); (b) train detection systems based on axle counters; (c) train detection systems based on loop equipment.
The related specific cases are defined in section 7.7 of the CCS TSI.’; (13) in point 4.2.3.4, the second and third paragraphs are replaced by the following: ‘If the unit is intended to be capable of being monitored by line side equipment on the 1 435 mm track gauge network the unit shall be compliant with the specification referenced in Appendix D Index [6] in order to ensure sufficient visibility.
For units intended to be operated on the networks with track gauges of 1 524 mm, 1 600 mm, 1 668 mm, the corresponding values in Table 2 referring to the parameters of the specification referenced in Appendix D Index [6] shall be applied.’;
