A2018-02 new App. 15,
The task of maintaining wagons such that they are fit for service falls to the "Entity in Charge of Maintenance" (ECM). In order to meet these obligations, ECMs require information on the operation of the wagons they maintain. It is the responsibility of the RU which has the wagon in its custody to supply such information.
A2018-03 App. 4
The wagon damage report (Appendix 4) compiled by the RU is to be prepared in digital format, namely PDF or XML. This is vital in order for better data administration.
Appendix 4 needs to be amended to enable standardised digital data transmission, whilst maintaining the prescribed format and content.
A2018-04 App. 7
Update of Appendix 7, parts B and C resulting in the removal of the obsolete term "U parts" from the appendix and the addition of a consolidated list of spare parts.

A2018-14 App. 10
Introduction of axle generators and pumps to be mounted onto components' axles, establishing a connection with the vehicle underframe. The new point aims to describe the mode of operation to be used for such axles.
A2018-15 App. 10
Adjustments to be made after replacement of brake blocks or wheelsets in accordance with UIC Leaflet 543-1.
A2018-16 App. 10

A2018-22 App. 9
Adjustment of code 1.8.3, in 1.8.3.1 and 1.8.3.2
A2018-23 Art. 19
In order to realise the objectives aimed for by the ECM Regulation/Annex A to Appendix G to the 1999 COTIF within the scope of the GCU, some passages of the GCU must be adjusted and new definitions incorporated. The proposed amendments create a set of unambiguous GCU provisions for the vehicle fleet maintenance management and maintenance delivery functions.
A2017-01 Appendix 2 & 11
In Appendix 11 point 4.2, a measure is provided for under Remark 2. This remark can be deleted from Appendix 11 because Appendix 11 contains a description of the markings and signs on wagons, not actions to be taken.
A2017-02 Appendix 9
Define what is meant in Appendix 9 by "Detach wagon" as an action to be taken in a separate point 3.2.5 / 3.2.6, Action to be taken "Detach wagon", column (4); Definition".
A2017-03 Appendix 11
Add a marking on wagons with screw brakes to indicate the holding force available, as stipulated by UIC Leaflet 545, point 4.2.
A2017-04 Appendix 9
New code 1.8.4: Hard manganese wear plate on axle box
A2017-05 Appendix 9
Adapt wording of Annex 8, point 4 as regards the use of derailment detectors.
A2017-06 Appendix 9
Under Code 3.3.5.2, the action to be taken should be to affix a "K" label and rectify the problem. Code 3.3.5.2 should then foresee the further action "detach wagon" in cases where rectification is not possible. Merely affixing a "K" label is not sufficient for this defect.
A2017-07 Appendix 9
The action to be taken and the defect category under Code 5.9.1 both need to be modified since a long-stroke damper which is off-centre can foul the loading gauge.
A2017-08 Appendix 11
GCU Appendix 11 currently contains only one warning sign for high voltage (a lightning flash). This amendment proposes to include in GCU Appendix 11 the other warning sign for high voltage, as set out in DIN EN 15877-1:2012-12.
A2017-09 Appendix 9
In order to reduce noise, various train formation yards with gravity humps apply friction modifiers to the inner and outer faces of the wagon wheel. The application of such products is not a reason to detach wagons, and should be included under Code 1.3.7 as an exception.
A2017-10 Appendix 9
Annex 1, code 8.1: additional handling of the wagon following irregularities in operations: No need for a three-point measurement of the wheelset on wagons having sustained an "abnormal buffering shock" (irregularities in operations).
A2017-11 Appendix 11
A specific marking/pictogram is required on railway recess wagons suitable to carry semi-trailers with steering wedges.
A2017-12 Appendix 9
Adapt the wording of points 1.2 and 4.4, "Planning of tests". In the context of multilateral RU-RU relations and the further enhancement of the QMS, the wording of Appendix 9, points 1.2 and 4.4 (main text on QMS) needs to be revised.
A2017-13 Appendix 9
Addition concerning removable wagon components: trestle locking device
A2017-14 Appendix 10, Art 3.20
Broken or missing brake release pulls are to be replaced.
A2017-15 Appendix 7, Part B
Remove the outmoded term "U part" and insert a list of standard spare parts
A2017-16 Appendix 7, Model HR
Adjust Form HR in line with the new Appendix 10
A2017-17 Appendix 10, Art 4.14
Adapt the provisions on damage to side bearers and, in particular, their fastening, in line with the new Appendix 9
A2017-18 Appendix 10, 1.6.1, 1.6.2 and 1.18
Ensure that the rules governing composite brake blocks (LL) are applied to wheelsets on wagons fitted with LL blocks during every trip to the workshop.
A2017-19 Appendix 10, Chapter C
Align "Chapter C - Preventive maintenance" with (EU) Regulation 445/2011
A2017-20 Appendix 10, Annex 3, Art 2.2
Since EN 473 ceased to apply on 1.3.2013, the current reference should be replaced by a reference to EN ISO 9712.
A2017-21 Appendix 6 & Article 23.2
Amendment of Appendix 6 and to propose a compensation payment of 350€.
A2017-22 Appendix 8
Overhault of Appendix 8
A2016-01
The current article 15 does not reflect the obligations and measures provided for by the TAF TSI.
A2016-02
The current Article 27 is incomplete as regards the determination of fault. The basis of keeper liability is not explicitly stated.
A2016-03
Appendix 9 code 6.1.1.8
Add a code to Appendix 9, Annex 1, stipulating the need for a vehicle keeper marking, as provided for by EN 15877-1 (2012).
A2016-04
Appendix 9 code 7.6.4.11 and 6.5.5.12
Adjustment of the action to be taken for codes 7.6.4.11 and 6.5.5.12. For RID loads, unscrewing the emergency control device is not an acceptable remedy for reasons of occupational safety.
A2016-05
Appendix 9 code 6.7.6
Change the term "Anti-crash element" to the broader "Anti-crash system" – code 6.7.6
A2016-06
Appendix 9 code 6.7.1
Modify code 6.7.1 : Better description of defects securing ILU with specific codes for trestles and pigots
A2016-07
Appendix 10 Art 1.35
Article 1.35 of Appendix 10 clarifies what information must be entered on Form Hr when an axle is replaced. The new Form Hr will require information on the diameters of the axles on the wagon. This clarification must be entered under point 1.35. Furthermore, it appears necessary to clarify that the diameter "B" to be entered on Form Hr is a measured value and not a nominal diameter.
