Page 1 Introduction: European standardisation and the role of CEN/ISSS This Workshop is designated as a CEN/ISSS Workshop. CEN/ISSS (the Information Society Standardisation System) is the label given to CEN activities in this broad domain. Since, in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), there is little demand for formal standards and major activity takes place in informal industry standards consortia, the CEN Workshop concept was first started in CEN/ISSS before being extended into other domains. Many current CEN/ISSS Workshops concern matters for the interoperability of systems and applications, being the key standards area in ICT and one that requires the most attention in view of the fragmentation of overall standards efforts. Deleted: proposed to be CEN has created the CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) as a deliverable which aims to bridge the gap between the activities of consortia and the formal process of standardisation represented by CEN and its national members. An important distinction is that the CWA is developed by CEN Workshops, comprising only participants with direct interest, and so it is not accorded the status of a European standard. The CWA will then be migrated to full EN status once developed. 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Page 2 1 Background of the CEN/ISSS Workshop on Coding Structures Coding structures must be created to support data exchange as defined in the technical specification for interoperability (TSI) relating to the subsystem Telematic Applications for Freight of the Trans-European Conventional Rail System referred to in Article 6(1) of Council Directive 2001/16/EC. The TSI for Telematic Applications for Freight () defines the standard electronic messages containing data required for interoperability between the actors in the Trans-European rail network. The TSI for Operation will also need to be taken into account where relevant. In order to effectively implement the TSI, the requires a number of common reference files and codification schemes to uniquely and unambiguously identify entities, objects and locations. Many of the codification schemes already exist as international standards (UIC Leaflets, ISO standards, etc), however each must be re-evaluated and possibly expanded within the context of the. The aim of the Coding Structures Workshop is to develop CEN Workshop Agreements (CWAs) which can be migrated later into formal European Norms (ENs). CWAs offer a fasttrack approach and provide the flexibility needed to put these standards into place to meet the needs of the developers before implementation of the TSI begins in 2006. The CWAs will be developed using EN templates to facilitate migration at a later date. The CWAs will need to be developed quickly and the drafts should be finalised by December 2005. Implementation of the TSI is scheduled to begin during the second half of 2006 and the stakeholders will need enough time to evaluate the standards and their impact. 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Page 3 2 CEN/ISSS Workshop Originators The Workshop is being undertaken because of the requirement submitted to CEN by the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF). The primary organisations that proposed the establishment of the Workshop are: Deleted: proposed Deleted: in Union Internationale des Chemins de Fer (UIC) 16, rue Jean Rey 75015 Paris France Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) 66, rue de l Impératrice B 1000 Brussels International Union of Private Wagons (UIP) Bd. du Souverain 47 Boite 17 B-1160 Bruxelles 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Page 4 3 CEN/ISSS Workshop Market Overview The TSI will have a dramatic impact on the stakeholders (as defined in the TSI) involved in conventional rail transport. The stakeholders impacted by the CWAs for example include European Infrastructure Managers, Railway Undertakings (Operators), Service Providers, Wagon Providers and Rail Freight Customers amongst others. The major impact of the TSI will be on the Railway Undertakings and Infrastructure Managers due to the future data exchange requirements and considerable modifications to their legacy systems. It is important that the new codification schemes developed under this Workshop meet the future requirements specified in the TSI, while respecting, where possible, the current standards applied in the stakeholders legacy systems today. The European railways have developed and implemented standards for interoperability and codification that are reflected in the various UIC/OSJD Leaflets concerning data exchange. These standards provide a good basis for the work to be accomplished by the Workshop and reflect the current capabilities and practice of the stakeholders. It is expected that the CWAs will be compliant, where possible, with the current standards in effect so as not to put an undue burden on the stakeholders. However, since the TSI encompasses the universe of stakeholders involved in Trans- European rail freight, these UIC Leaflets and industry standards must be re-evaluated to ensure that they will continue to meet the requirements of the TSI in the long term. 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Page 5 4 Objectives of the CEN/ISSS Workshop The objective for the Coding Structures Workshop is to develop 7 specific CWAs as listed below. All completed drafts CWA will be ready by December 2005 and ready for publication in March 2006. The individual CWAs can be broken down into two different categories: Operational and Commercial. The Operational category includes those standards associated with locations, equipment and railway entity identification. The Commercial category includes standards associated with Customer identification. The deliverables for the Coding Structures Workshop shall be the development and approval of the following CWAs: Doc Code Title Required Date CR 52.01 Numbering and Coding System for Vehicle Identification Dec 2005 CR 52.02 Numbering and Coding System for Traction Units Dec 2005 CR 52.03 Numbering and Coding System for Trains Dec 2005 CR 57 Numerical Coding of IMs, RUs, Transport Organisations and Dec 2005 Companies CR 58.01 Numerical Coding of Transport Customers Dec 2005 CR 58.02 Numerical Coding of Customer Locations Dec 2005 CR 59 Numerical Coding of Railway Locations Dec 2005 Deleted: CWAs should be Deleted: c Deleted: so that they are in place for implementation in 2006 Deleted: Below is a listing of the individual CWA deliverables containing a brief statement of scope, specific issues to be addressed, timeline and priority. CWA for Numbering and Coding System for Vehicle Identification Scope Develop a numbering system to uniquely identify a wagon which shall be independent of the wagon owner and shall satisfy the expected demand of entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Develop a coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify freight wagons for use in applications following international conventions for various purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.) to meet the requirement and vision of the TSI. The code shall have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Where possible the code should be compatible with, but not limited to, the UIC/OSJD coding as defined in UIC Leaflet 438-2 Identification Marking for Freight Rolling Stock. 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Page 6 Priority = High Deliverable Date = December 2005 Category = Operational CWA for Numbering and Coding System for Traction Units Scope Develop a numbering system to uniquely identify a traction unit which shall be independent of the traction unit owner and shall satisfy the expected demand of entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Develop a coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify traction units for use in applications following international conventions for various purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.) to meet the requirement and vision of the TSI. The code shall have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Where possible the code should be compatible with, but not limited to, the UIC/OSJD coding as defined in UIC Leaflet 438-3 Identification Marking for Motive Power Stock. Priority = High Deliverable Date = December 2005 Category = Operational CWA for Numbering and Coding System for Trains Scope Develop a numbering system to uniquely identify trains and to satisfy the expected demand for entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. The train number identifies a freight train throughout its journey. The number must be unique at any given point in time since there must not be two trains running simultaneously with the same number. Develop a coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify trains for use in applications following international conventions for various purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.) to meet the requirement and vision of the TSI. The code shall be have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand of entries for the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Where possible the code should be compatible 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Priority = High Deliverable Date = December 2005 Category = Operational CWA for Numerical Coding of IMs, RUs, Transport Organisations and Companies Scope Develop a coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify: All railway companies (RUs and IMs) as defined in Directive 2001/14/EC and in Directive 2001/16/EC All transport bodies participating in one or more international organisations. The code shall allow for identification of the main (parent) company and, if existing, shall allow identification of subsidiaries. The code structure shall have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand of entries for the forthcoming decades (i.e. all new entrants and providers) for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Where possible the code should be compatible with, but not limited to, UIC/OSJD coding as defined in UIC Leaflet 920-1 Standard Numerical Coding for Railway Undertakings and Infrastructure Managers. Priority = High Deliverable Date = December 2005 Category = Operational CWA for Numerical Coding of Railway Locations Scope Develop a numbering system to uniquely identify railway locations to satisfy the expected demand for entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Develop a coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify railway locations for use in applications following international conventions for various purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.) to meet the requirement and vision of the TSI. The code shall have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for new entries in the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. The structure and validation of the code must be elaborated according to functional requirements to be defined. 24/01/2005 Business Plan

Page 8 Where possible the code should be compatible with, but not limited to, the UIC/OSJD coding as defined in UIC Leaflet 920-2 Standard Numerical Coding of Locations. The Task Group charged with this CWA must consider combining it with the CWA Numerical Coding for Customer Locations. Priority = High Deliverable Date = December 2005 Category = Operational CWA for Numerical Coding of Freight Transport Customers Currently there is no unique coding scheme to unambiguously identify railway Customers, therefore it is practically impossible to provide international customers with the same level of service as for domestic ones. Since there is no European-level Register of Business Names, Customers cannot be uniquely identified. Railway customers are currently classified within the individual railway applications further adding to the disparity in identification - with the consequence that this requires additional efforts and translation by foreign carriers exchanging or requesting information about a consignee or consignor. There is a need to develop a numerical coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify railway customers for use in applications following international conventions for various purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.) to meet the requirement and vision of the TSI. The code shall allow identification of the main (parent) company and, if existing, shall allow identification of subsidiaries. The code structure shall have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for entries for the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States. Where possible the code should be compatible with, but not limited to, UIC/OSJD coding as defined in UIC Leaflet 920-10 Standard Numerical Code for Railway Customers. Priority = High Deliverable Date = December 2005 Category = Operational CWA for Numerical Coding of Freight Customer Locations Develop a numerical coding system to uniquely and unambiguously identify railway customer locations for use in applications following international conventions for various purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.) to meet the requirement and vision of the TSI. In addition, the code must have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for entries for the forthcoming decades for the current EU single rail market, its possible expansion and operation with non EU OTIF member States.
