Introduction
This document describes standardized markings for use on heavy rail freight wagons. These markings
are used to provide various items of information relating to the characteristics and intended use of
vehicles in a clear and concise manner. Among those markings are safety signs used to alert equipment
operators to hazards that may be encountered in the use or maintenance of the vehicles.
The standard consists of two parts:
— Part 1: Freight wagons;
— Part 2: External Markings on Coaches, Motive Power Units, Locomotives and On Track Machines.
In addition to the markings shown in this document, there might be other markings and text applied to a
heavy rail freight wagon, e.g. instructions and warnings concerning the use of equipment. Such additional
markings are not in contravention of this document provided they do not interfere with or affect the
markings in the document.
The document is applicable to all heavy rail freight wagons operating within the European Union, the
European Free Trade Association Member States and states which are member of OTIF
(Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail) and it satisfies the legal
requirements within these institutions.
The standard is consistent with:
— Directive (EU) 2016/797 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community;
— COTIF UTP GEN-A: General provisions – Essential requirements.
It is intended to be used by all parties concerned with the marking of railway vehicles.

4 Markings
4.1 General principles
4.1.1 The markings and the content of information are given in 4.4.
4.1.2 A marking shall be located on the wagon at a position easily visible by staff standing at ground
level and presented in a way clearly understandable to persons concerned. If the marking is intended to
be read by a person standing at ground level, it should not be located at a level higher than 2 000 mm
2
above the rail surface .The visibility shall also be ensured if the marking needs to be read from a position
other than ground level or if it is placed on a non-vertical surface. Hazard markings, e.g. the warning sign
for live catenary, shall be located in such a position that they can be seen before the hazard zone is actually
reached.
The location of a marking shall be such that correctly positioned tarpaulins, which may be used to sheet
the wagon, do not obscure the marking.

2
For the assessment of the location criteria, the ground level should not to be lower than 200 mm below the rail
surface; in accordance with anthropometric data, the eye level of the reading person should not to be less than
1 500 mm.

4.1.3 Advertising, designs or other text or pictures not relating to the markings applied to a wagon shall
not affect the visibility and the clear and unambiguous understanding of the marking. Such items may
only be placed on the side walls or on the tank shell. In this case, a border of minimum 100 mm shall be
placed around each marking or composition of markings; these borders shall have a “neutral” colour or
be the colour which accentuates the marking.
For all required markings, the background around the outer line shall give a contrast to the marking and
shall be at least in the size of the outer line and not less than 5 mm.
4.1.4 Graffiti which affects the visibility or understanding of the markings shall be removed.
4.1.5 Unless otherwise indicated in the figures, the markings shall be placed on both sides of the wagon.
4.1.6 A marking shall ensure durable, non-degraded marking for a period of at least 6 years under a
temperature range of −40 °C to +90 °C. If a marking is defective or illegible, it shall be restored. It shall be
weather-resistant and resistant to cleaning agents, high pressure water or air cleaning and cleaning
machines with brushes.
4.1.7 Alphanumeric characters used on markings shall use Latin characters and Arabic numerals. The
font to be used shall be non-italic, sans serif and of a type such as Univers 67, Helvetica or Arial.
4.1.8 The distances between value and unit shall be clearly separated by space (see
EN ISO 80000-1:2013, e.g. 7.1.4.)
4.1.9 The dimensions indicated in this document may have a tolerance of plus or minus 10 % when
hand produced. For better readability, it is recommended to use industrial foils or stencils for hand
produced markings.
4.1.10 When employing the use of moveable panels it shall be ensured that the required panel is suitably
secured so as not to be inadvertently changed or get lost.
4.1.11 The inscription panel may be replaced by applying the requisite markings directly to the sidewall
or tank.
4.2 Colour
4.2.1 Colours used shall conform to ISO 3864-4:2011, see Annex A of this document.
4.2.2 Unless otherwise indicated in the figures of this document, the colours need not be made of retro
reflecting material.
4.2.3 The luminance contrast k shall shall conform to ISO 3864-4:2011.
4.2.4 If there is no colour specification indicated with the specification of a marking, the colour of the
informative part (the symbol, letters/numbers, borders and lines) shall be black on a light background
or white on a dark background. The background for decals, stencils and painted markings may be
transparent and thereby represented by the colour of the material on which the marking is placed, e.g.
the wall of the wagon. In any case, when a part of the marking is indicated to be the wagon colour
background, the requirement to the luminance contrast shall be met.

4.3 Positioning
Where applicable, markings shall be positioned generally according to Figure 1 and Figure 2. The list of
markings is contained in the table under 4.4 and their position and meaning described in 4.5. Not all
markings can be accommodated in the figures.
If no specific position for a marking is prescribed in 4.5, the following general rules are to be followed:
A marking indicating a lever, a button, a nozzle, an indicator, hidden equipment or a point for action (e.g.
a lifting point) shall be located next to that item (normally above, beneath or on the cover concealing the
item) and may not lead to any misunderstanding or confusion.

NOTE 2 The width “x” or “*” is the standard width of “0” and depends on the chosen letter font.
Position:
The marking shall be positioned on the left of each side wall, or the left of each solebar in the case of low-
sided open wagons or on inscription panels in the case of wagons without side walls (e.g. tank wagons).
The marking is to be located not higher than 2 m above rail level.
When the full name and address information is inscribed on the vehicle, a Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM)
is not required for vehicles of keepers with such a limited vehicle fleet that this does not warrant the use
of a VKM, or specialized vehicles for infrastructure maintenance.
