 2.1.4. 
The ARS function shall enable keepers, after authentication, to submit applications for registration or update of an existing registration to the selected RE, via a web-based tool presenting the harmonised e-form (see Appendix 4). This function shall also allow the RE to register the registration data. The set of registrations for a given Member State shall be referred to as the vehicle register of such Member State.

Member States may decide to use the centralised ARS function (C-ARS) provided by the Agency or may implement the ARS function autonomously in a de-centralised manner. In the latter case, the Member State and the Agency shall ensure the compatibility and communication between the de-centralised ARS functions (D-ARS) and the centralised functions (DSC, UCA and RDA).

The centralised ARS function shall provide pre-reservation and management of vehicle numbers. The pre-reservation process shall allow for pre-filling of information required in the e-form by the applicant or the keeper.
 2.2. 
The EVR functions shall be accessible to users with the most commonly used web browsers and in all Union official languages.
 2.3. 
As a general rule, the EVR shall be permanently available, with a target system availability of 98 %.

 2.7. 
The EVR system shall provide automatic checks of data entered in the e-form, including checks against EVR vehicle registrations, completeness check and check of the format of data entered.
 2.8. 
The Agency may implement the DSC function to allow for relevant entities in third countries to get access to appropriate data of the EVR when an international agreement to which the European Union is party provides for that.

The Agency may allow for the use of EVR functions by entities in third countries when an international agreement to which the European Union is party provides for that.

3.  3.1. 
The EVR may be used for purposes such as:


— checking if a vehicle is duly registered and the status of the registration;
— retrieving information on the authorisations for placing on the market, including the authorising entity, the area of use, the conditions for use and other restrictions;
— retrieving the reference to the authorised vehicle type to which the vehicle conforms to;
— identifying the keeper, the owner or the entity in charge of maintenance.
 3.2.  3.2.1.  1. A vehicle, after the authorisation for placing on the market and before being operated, shall be registered in the EVR at the request of the keeper. The keeper shall fill in the e-form and submit the application for registration to one Member State of its choice within the area of use. At the request of the applicant or keeper, the Member State chosen for registering the vehicle shall offer procedures for the pre-reservation of a vehicle number or a range of vehicle numbers.
 2. For a given vehicle, only one valid registration may exist in the EVR. A vehicle without a valid registration may not be operated.
 3. Upon registration, the vehicle is assigned a European vehicle number (EVN) by the RE in the registering Member State. The EVN shall comply with the rules set in Appendix 6. In case the applicant or keeper — upon their request — received a pre-reserved vehicle number, that vehicle number shall be used for the first registration.
 4. The EVN may be changed in the cases specified in points 3.2.2.8 and 3.2.2.9.
 5. In case of vehicles entering the Union rail system from third countries and registered in a vehicle register not in conformity with this Annex or not connected to the EVR, the keeper shall submit the application for registration to the first Member State where the vehicle is intended to be operated on the Union rail system.
 6. Rolling stock placed in service for the first time in a third country and intended to be used inside the Union as part of the common 1 520 mm rail system wagons fleet shall not be registered in the EVR. However, in accordance with Article 47(7) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, it shall be possible to retrieve information on the keeper of the vehicle concerned, the entity in charge of its maintenance and the restrictions on how the vehicle may be used.
 7. When an international agreement to which the European Union is party provides for that, in case of vehicles entering the Union rail system from third countries and registered in a vehicle register connected to the EVR (via the DSC function), in conformity with this Annex, they shall be registered only in that vehicle register.
 8. For each vehicle, the EVR shall contain the references of all authorisations granted to the vehicle and of non-Member States in which the vehicle is admitted to international traffic in accordance with Appendix G to the Convention concerning international carriage by rail, and the corresponding conditions for use and other restrictions.
 9. The RE shall take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the data registered in the EVR. To this end the RE may request information from other REs, in particular when the keeper applying for registration is established in another Member State. The RE may decide to suspend a vehicle registration in duly justified cases.
 10. If either the NSA or the Agency consider there is a justified case for suspension of registration of a vehicle in accordance with Article 54 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545, they shall request the registration entity to suspend it. The registration entity shall suspend the registration without delay upon such a request.
 11. The keeper shall submit the applications for registration via the electronic web- based form to the competent RE. The web-based form and dashboard shall be made available as part of the ARS function and shall be accessible after authentication.
 12. Applications for registration may concern a single vehicle or a list of vehicles.
 13. In some registration cases, Member States may require supporting documents to be electronically attached to the application for registration; to that end the RE shall publish the list of supporting documents required in each registration case.
 14. Besides the data referred to in Table 1, Member States may require additional fields to be provided in the registration application; to that end the RE shall publish the list of such fields.
 15. The EVR shall provide the keeper and the RE with the possibility to review in the system the applications for registration and their related attachments and provide the recording of registrations and registration changes with the information related to these changes.
 16. The RE shall register the data in the EVR within 20 working days of the receipt of a complete application. The RE shall, within that deadline, either register the vehicle or request correction or clarification.
 17. The keeper shall be able to review the progress of its applications via a web-based dashboard.
 18. The EVR shall notify the keeper and RE of any change of status of the application for registration.
 3.2.2. 
The registration cases are specified below. If applicable, different registration cases may be merged in a single vehicle registration application.
 3.2.2.1. 
All mandatory fields listed in Table 1 shall be filled, together with any additional field required by the Member State in accordance with point 3.2.1.14.

Applications shall be submitted by the keeper to the RE of a Member State in the area of use of the vehicle where registration is sought.

For vehicles entering the Union rail system from third countries in accordance with point 3.2.1.5, applications shall be submitted to the RE of the first Member State where the vehicle is intended to be operated. In that case the application shall contain at least the information on the identification of the keeper, the entity in charge of maintenance and the restrictions on how the vehicle may be used.
 3.2.2.2. 
Applications shall be submitted by the keeper to the RE of the Member State where the vehicle is registered. Only the parameters in Table 1 to be updated shall be filled.
 3.2.2.3. 
Should a keeper of a vehicle change, it is the responsibility of the currently registered keeper to inform the RE in due time, so that the latter may update the EVR. The former keeper shall be removed from the EVR registration 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 shall be suspended.
 3.2.2.4. 
When there is a change of ECM of a vehicle, the keeper shall inform the RE in due time, so that the latter may update the EVR. The former ECM shall deliver the maintenance documentation to either the keeper or the new ECM. The former ECM is relieved of its responsibilities when it is removed from the EVR registration. If on the date of de-registration of the former ECM any new entity has not acknowledged its acceptance of ECM status, the registration of the vehicle is suspended.
 3.2.2.5. 
When there is a change of owner, the keeper shall inform the RE in due time, so that the latter may update the EVR.
 3.2.2.6. 
The new status and the status reason shall be filled. The status date shall be automatically filled by the EVR.

A vehicle that has its registration suspended may not be operated on the Union rail system.

A reactivation of a registration after suspension will require the reexamination by the RE of the conditions which caused the suspension and, if applicable, in coordination with the NSA that requested the suspension.
 3.2.2.7. 
The new status and the status reason shall be filled. The status date is automatically filled by the system.

A vehicle that has its registration withdrawn may not be operated on the Union rail system under such registration.
 3.2.2.8. 
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 on the market and, where appropriate, a new vehicle type authorisation, in accordance with Articles 21 and 24 of Directive (EU) 2016/797. The keeper shall inform the RE of the Member State where the vehicle is registered of those changes and, if applicable, of the new authorisation for placing on the market. That RE shall assign to the vehicle a new EVN.

The change of EVN consists of a new registration of the vehicle and subsequent withdrawal of the old registration.
 3.2.2.9. 
The EVN may be changed at the request of the keeper through a new registration of the vehicle by a different Member State in the area of use and subsequent withdrawal of the old registration.
 3.2.3. 
Following a change to one or more registration items, the EVR IT system shall send to the keeper and to the concerned NSAs for the area of use of the vehicle an automatic email notification informing about the change, when they have subscribed to such notifications.

Following a change of keeper or owner or ECM, the EVR IT system shall send an automatic email notification to, respectively, the previous keeper and the new keeper or the previous owner and the new owner or the previous ECM and new ECM.

APPENDIX 6
PART ‘0’
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.

Each railway vehicle shall receive 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 Technical characteristics Serial number Check digit
[2 figures] [4 figures] [3 figures] [1 figure]
Wagons 00 to 0910 to 1920 to 2930 to 3940 to 4980 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 5960 to 6970 to 79[details in part 7] 0000 to 9999[details in part 10] 000 to 999
Tractive rolling stock and units in a trainset in fixed or pre-defined formation 90 to 99[details in part 8] 0000000 to 8999999[the meaning of these figures is defined by the Member States, eventually by bilateral or multilateral agreement]
Special vehicles 9000 to 9999[details in part 11] 000 to 999

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.

Alphabetical markings complete the number:


((a)) abbreviation of the country in which the vehicle is registered (details in part 4);
((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).

PART 1
1. 
A Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is an alphabetic code, consisting of 2 to 5 letters. A VKM shall be inscribed on each rail vehicle, near the EVN. The VKM shall identify the keeper as registered in the EVR.

A VKM shall be unique and valid in all countries covered by this Decision and all countries that enter into an agreement that involves the application of the system of vehicle numbering and VKM as described in this Decision.

A VKM for a keeper which has its main place of business in a non-EU OTIF Contracting State is to be requested from OTIF Secretariat-General.

2. 
The VKM shall be a representation of the full name or abbreviation of the keeper, if possible in a recognisable manner. Any of the 26 letters of ISO 8859-1 alphabet may be used. The letters in the VKM shall be 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 shall be taken as written in capitals.

Letters may contain diacritical signs. Diacritical signs used by those letters shall be ignored for checking uniqueness.

For vehicles of 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 shall be disregarded for data-processing purposes.

3. 
More than one VKM may be assigned to a keeper, in case:


— the keeper has a formal name in more than one language;
— a keeper has good cause to distinguish between separate vehicle fleets within his organisation.

A single VKM may be issued for a group of companies:


— which belong to single corporate structure (e.g. holding structure);
— which 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;
— which have mandated a separate, single legal entity for handling all issues on their behalf. In that case the legal entity shall be the keeper.

4. 
The register of VKM shall be public and updated on a real-time basis.

An applicant shall request a VKM to the NSA of the Member State where the applicant has its main place of business. That NSA shall check the application and then forward it to the Agency. A VKM may be used only after publication by the Agency.

The holder of a VKM shall inform the competent national authority when it ends the use of a VKM, and the competent national authority shall forward the information to the Agency. A VKM shall then be revoked once the keeper has proved that the marking has been changed on all vehicles concerned. It shall not be reissued for 10 years, unless it is reissued to the original holder or at his request to another holder.

A VKM may be transferred to another holder, which is the legal successor to the original holder. A VKM shall stay 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 wagons concerned shall be marked with the new VKM within three months from the date of registration of the change of keeper in the EVR. In case of inconsistency between the VKM marked on the vehicle and the data registered in the EVR, the EVR-registration supersedes.

PART 2
Not used

PART 3
The check-digit shall be 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 shall also be nought.


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.
