   (2010/640/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
   Having regard to the recommendations of the European Railway Agency of 17 July 2009 on consistent ERTMS rules in Control-Command and Signalling and Traffic Operation and Management TSIs (ERA/REC/2009-02/INT), on revised Annex P of Traffic Operation and Management TSIs for high-speed and conventional rail (ERA/REC/2009-03/INT), on revised Annex T of Traffic Operation and Management TSI for conventional rail (ERA/REC/2009-04/INT) and on an amendment aiming to achieve consistency between Directive 2007/59/EC and Traffic Operation and Management TSIs in respect to train driver competence provisions (ERA/REC/2009-05/INT),
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) requires that the European Rail Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) shall ensure that the technical specifications for interoperability (hereinafter ‘TSIs’) are adapted to technical progress and market trends and to the social requirements and propose to the Commission the amendments to the TSIs which it considers necessary.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               By Decision C(2007) 3371 of 13 July 2007, the Commission gave a framework mandate to the Agency to perform certain activities under Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system (3) and Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system (4). Under the terms of this framework mandate, the Agency was requested to perform the revision of the conventional rail TSI on Traffic Operation and Management, adopted by Commission Decision 2006/920/EC (5), and of the revised high-speed TSI on Traffic Operation and Management, adopted by Commission Decision 2008/231/EC (6), as well as to provide technical opinions on critical errors and to publish a list of detected minor errors.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               A European Train Control System (hereinafter ‘ETCS’) and a Global System for Mobile communications — Railways (hereinafter ‘GSM-R’) are considered as important means on the way to a harmonised trans-European railway system. It is therefore necessary to harmonise the rules for these systems as early as possible. Following this principle, ETCS and GSM-R are specified in TSIs.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               It is vital that the requirements laid down in TSIs are coherent and unambiguous. This means also that different TSIs may not refer to technical requirements in different stages of development All TSIs should therefore refer to identical technical requirements.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               In order to harmonise the relevant rules in the TSIs for the trans-European conventional and high-speed rail system, the rules regarding operational aspects should be published as a Technical Document on the website of the Agency.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               The TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail should contain the same reference as the revised TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for high speed.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               The revision of the technical document ‘Annex A of TSI OPE’ should follow the ‘Change Control Management process (CCM)’ which is applied for validations of technical ERTMS specifications.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               According to Article 32(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, each vehicle must receive a European Vehicle Number (EVN) when the first authorisation for placing in service is granted. According to 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 (7), the EVN is registered in the national vehicle register which is kept and updated by the national body designated by the Member State concerned.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               The requirements on Vehicle Identification stipulated in Annex P of the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management (for high speed and conventional rail) need to be revised, taking also into account the development of the legal frame given by Directive 2008/57/EC and Decision 2007/756/EC. As a number of technical codes are of an evolving nature due to technical progress, the Agency should be given the task of publishing and updating such lists of technical codes.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               The requirements on braking performance are an open point in the TSI on Traffic Operation and Management for conventional rail. The operational aspects of braking performance should be harmonised.
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               Requirements on professional competence, physical and psychological fitness of train drivers are set out in Directive 2007/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (8). In order to avoid overlapping and duplication, the TSIs on Traffic Operation and Management should not include such requirements.
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               Decisions 2006/920/EC and 2008/231/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 29(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC,

                              Section 2.2.1 is replaced by the following:
                              ‘2.2.1.   STAFF AND TRAINS
                              Sections 4.6 and 4.7 apply to those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of accompanying a train, when this involves crossing a border(s) between states and working beyond any location(s) designated as the “frontier” in the Network Statement of an Infrastructure Manager and included in its safety authorisation.
                              Section “4.6.2 Linguistic Competency” applies additionally to train drivers as stipulated by Annex VI point 8 of Directive 2007/59/EC.
                              A staff member will not be considered as crossing a border if the activity only involves working as far as any “frontier” locations as described in the first paragraph of this section.
                              For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of despatching trains and authorising train movements, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and health and safety conditions between Member States will apply.
                              For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks associated with the last preparation of a train before it is scheduled to cross a border(s) and work beyond any “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section, subsection 4.6 will apply with mutual recognition between Member States of health and safety conditions. A train will not be considered to be a cross border service, if all the vehicles of the train crossing the state border cross it only to the “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section.
                              This can be summarised in the following tables:

                     1.   General remarks
                     
                     This Annex 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.
                     2.   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:

                           In 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 (1).
                     Alphabetical markings complete the number:

                           3.   Allocation of number
                     
                     The 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.
                     The 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.
                     
                        ANNEX P.1
                        
                           VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING
                        
                        1.   Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)
                        
                        A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters (2 4 5 9). 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.
                        A 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.
                        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.
                        Letters may contain diacritical signs (3 6 10). Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.
                        For 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.
                        3.   Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper Markings
                        
                        A vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:
                        
                                    —
                                 
                                 
                                    the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,
                                 
                              
                                    —
                                 
                                 
                                    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 applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.
                        The 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.
                        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.

                           INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK
                        
                        1.   General arrangements for external markings
                        
                        The 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.
                        The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.
                        2.   Wagons

                              The 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.
                        In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.
                        4.   Locomotives, power cars and special vehicles
                        
                        The European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:
                        92 10 1108 062-6
                        The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.
                        The 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.
                     
                     
                        ANNEX P.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 units digit of this sum is retained,

                                    the 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.

                                    The units 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.

                                    Vehicles which are not authorised for operation in all Member States need a marking indicating the Member States where they have been authorised. The list of authorising MS should be marked according to one of the following drawings, where D stands for the MS who has granted the first authorisation (in the given example, Germany) and F stands for the second authorising MS (in the given example, France). The MS are codified in accordance with Annex P4. This may cover vehicles which are TSI compliant or which are not. These vehicles correspond to coding 4 or 8 of the first digit in the vehicle number specified in Annex P.6.

                        IM’s role
                     
                     The IM shall inform the RU about the braking performance required for each route and has to provide information about the route characteristics. The IM has to ensure that the impact of the route characteristics and track-side related margins are included in the required braking performance.
                     The required braking performance shall in principle be expressed in brake weight percentage unless the IM and RU have agreed on another unit to express the braking performance (e.g. braked tonnes, brake forces, deceleration values, deceleration profiles).
                     For train sets and fixed train compositions the IM shall deliver the braking performance requirements in deceleration values if so requested by the RU.
                     
                        RU’s role
                     
                     The RU shall ensure that each train satisfies or exceeds the braking performance required by the IM. Therefore the RU shall calculate the braking performance of a train taking into account the train composition.
                     The RU must take into account the vehicle or train set braking performance determined when placed in service. Rolling Stock-related margins like reliability and availability of the brakes have to be considered. The RU must also take into account the information about route characteristics which affect the train behaviour when tuning the braking performance for stopping and securing a train.
                     The braking performance resulting from the checking of the actual train (like train composition, brake availability, brake settings) will be used as an input value for any operational rule to be subsequently applied to the train.
                     
                        Braking performance not achieved
                     
                     The IM has to set up rules to be used if a train does not reach the required braking performance and has to make these rules available to the RUs.
                     If a train does not reach the braking performance required for the routes the train shall run, the RU has to respect the resulting constraints like speed restriction.’

                              Section “4.6.2 Linguistic Competence” applies additionally to train drivers as stipulated by Annex VI point 8 of Directive 2007/59/EC.
                              A staff member will not be considered as crossing a border if the activity only involves working as far as any “frontier” locations as described in the first paragraph of this section.
                              For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks of despatching trains and authorising train movements, mutual recognition of professional qualifications and health and safety conditions between Member States will apply.
                              For those staff undertaking the safety critical tasks associated with the last preparation of a train before it is scheduled to cross a border(s) and work beyond any “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section, subsection 4.6 will apply with mutual recognition between Member States of health and safety conditions. A train will not be considered to be a cross border service, if all the vehicles of the train crossing the state border cross it only to the “frontier” location(s) as described in the first paragraph of this section.
                              This can be summarised in the following tables:

                           3.   Allocation of number
                     
                     The 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.
                     The 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.
                     
                        ANNEX P.1
                        
                           VEHICLE KEEPER MARKING
                        
                        1.   Definition of the Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)
                        
                        A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters (2 4 5 9). 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.
                        A 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.
                        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.
                        Letters may contain diacritical signs (3 6 10). Diacritical signs used by these letters are ignored for checking uniqueness.
                        For 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.
                        3.   Provisions about allocation of Vehicle Keeper Markings
                        
                        A vehicle keeper can be issued more than one VKM, in case:
                        
                                    —
                                 
                                 
                                    the vehicle keeper has a formal name in more than one language,
                                 
                              
                                    —
                                 
                                 
                                    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 applicant’s competent national authority and forwarded to the ERA. A VKM can be used only after publication by the ERA.
                        The 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.
                        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.

                           INSCRIPTION OF THE NUMBER AND LINKED ALPHABETICAL MARKING ON THE BODYWORK
                        
                        1.   General arrangements for external markings
                        
                        The 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.
                        The marking is put not higher than 2 metres above rail level.
                        2.   Wagons
                        
                        The marking shall be inscribed on the wagon bodywork in the following manner:

                              The 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.
                        In case of coaches with driver’s cabin, the European Vehicle number is also written inside the cabin.

                        The European Vehicle Number must be marked on each sidewall of the tractive stock in the following manner:
                        92 10 1108 062-6
                        The European Vehicle Number is also written inside each cabin of the tractive rolling stock.
                        The 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.

                           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 units digit of this sum is retained;

                                    the 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.

                                    The units 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.
