Model Rules on the Permanent Identification of Railway Rolling Stock (Revision 1)

The Model Rules facilitate the financing and acquisition of railway rolling stock leading to a reduced cost for those wishing to invest in the railways. They are issued under the auspices of SC.2 and implement a key requirement of the Luxembourg Protocol to the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment. The rules lay down the methods and responsibilities for affixing the URVIS identifier to an item of railway rolling stock.
