Such coordination is the obligation of the infrastructure manager unless otherwise prescribed by provisions in force in the State in question. In addition to the duty of investigation placed upon the parties involved, the Contracting State may require an independent investigation to be carried out. § 2 A vehicleshallbe consideredseverelydamaged whenit cannotbe repairedby a simpleoperationwhichwould allowit to be joined in a train and to circulate on its own wheels without danger for operations. If the repair can be carried out in less than 72 hours or the cost is less than 0.18 million SDR in total, the damage shall not be considered as severe. § 3 The accidents, incidents and severe damage shall be notified, without delay, to the authority or body which admitted the vehicle to circulation. That authority or body may require the damaged vehicle to be presented, possibly already repaired, for examination of the validity of the admission to operation which has been granted. If appropriate, the procedure concerning the grant of admission to operation must be repeated. § 4 The Contracting States shall keep records, publish investigation reports including their findings and recommendations, inform the approval certificate issuing authority and the Organisation of the causes of accidents, incidents and severe damage in international traffic that occurred on their territory. The Committee of Technical Experts may examine the causes of serious accidents and incidents or severe damage in international traffic with a view possibly to developing the construction and operation prescriptions for railway vehicles and other railway material contained in the UTP and may if appropriatedecide to instruct the Contracting States within a short time limit to suspend relevant Certificates to Operation, Design Type Certificates or declarations issued. § 5 The Committee of Technical Experts may prepare and adopt further mandatory rules concerning the investigation of serious accidents, incidents and severe damage, requirements concerning independent State investigation bodies and the form and content of reports. It may also change the values/numbers in § 2 and in Article 2 ff). Article 17 Immobilisation and rejection of vehicles § 1 A competent authority, another rail transport undertaking or an infrastructure manager may not reject or immobilise railway vehicles to prevent them from running on compatible railway infrastructures if these Uniform Rules, the prescriptions contained in the UTP, the special conditions, if any, for the admission set out by the admitting authority as well as the construction and operation prescriptions contained in RID, are complied with. § 2 The right of a competent authority to inspect and immobilise a vehicle is not affected if non-compliance with § 1 is suspected, but the examination to establish certainty should be carried out as quickly as possible and in any case within 24 hours. § 3 However, if a Contracting State does not suspend or withdraw a certificate within the limit indicated according to Article 5 § 7 or Article 16 § 4, other Contracting States are entitled to reject or immobilise the vehicle(s) in question. Article 18 Non-compliance with the prescriptions § 1 Subject to § 2 and Article 10 a § 4 c), the legal consequences resulting from failure to comply with these Uniform Rules and the UTP, shall be regulated by the provisions in force in the Contracting State of which the competent authority has granted the first admission to operation, including the rules relating to conflict of laws. § 2 The consequencesin civil and penal law resulting from failure to comply with these Uniform Rules and the UTP shallbe regulated, so far as concerns the infrastructure, by the provisions in force in the Contracting State in which the infrastructure manager has his place of business, including the rules relating to conflict of laws. Article 19 Transitional provisions § 1 Article 3 § 1 applies to upgraded, renewed and existing vehicles. For vehicles which have been approved for international traffic under RIV, RIC or other pertinent international agreements and which are marked accordingly, transitional provisions are prescribed in this Article. § 2 At the time of entry into force of these Uniform Rules, existing vehicles marked with RIV or RIC as proof of current compliance with the technical provisions of the RIV 2000 agreement (revised edition of 1 January 2004) or the RIC agreement respectively, shall be deemed to be admitted to operation on the networks of the Contracting States in accordance with their compatibility with the railway infrastructures (in respect of the markings on the wagon) for which it is admitted by one of the Contracting States. § 2a Existing vehicles not marked RIV or RIC but admitted and marked according to bilateral or multilateral agreements between Contracting States notified to the Organisation shall also be deemed to be admitted to operation on the networks covered by the agreement. § 3 The transitional admission according to §§ 2 and 2a is valid until the vehicle requires a new admission according to Article 10 § 11. § 4 The inscription RIV, RIC, or another marking on the vehicle accepted by the Committee of Technical Experts, together with the data stored in the database indicated in Article 13, shall be considered as sufficient proof of the approval. Unauthorised changing of this marking shall be considered as fraud and prosecuted according to national law. § 5 Regardless of this transitional provision, the vehicle and its documentation shall comply with the provisions in force of the UTP concerning marking and maintenance; compliance with the provisions of RID in force shall also be ensured, where applicable. The Committee of Technical Experts may also decide that safety-based provisions introduced in the UTP shall be complied with within a certain deadline regardless of any transitional provisions. § 6 Existing vehicles which are not covered by the scope of §§ 2 and 2a can be admitted to operation upon the request of an applicant to a competent authority. The latter may request additional technical information from the applicant, risk analysis and/or vehicle tests before granting a complementary admission to operation. However the competent authorities shall take full account of the equivalence table referred to in Article 13 of the APTU Uniform Rules. § 7 The Committee of Technical Experts may adopt other transitional provisions. Article 20 Disputes Disputes relating to the technical admission of railway vehicles and other railway material intended to be used in international traffic, may be dealt with by the Committee of Technical Experts if there is no resolution by direct negotiation between the parties involved. Such disputes may also be submitted, in accordance with the procedure specified in Title V of the Convention, to the Arbitration Tribunal.” „Egységes Szabályok a nemzetközi vasúti forgalomban használt infrastruktúrára vonatkozó szerzõdésre (CUI – az Egyezmény E Függeléke) I.
