Railway applications - Marking on railway vehicles - Part 1: Freight wagons
This European Standard identifies the information required to be marked on freight wagons, or parts of freight wagons, relating to their technical, operational and maintenance characteristics. It defines the characteristics of these markings, the requirements pertaining to their presentation, their shape and position on a vehicle and their meaning. Some markings are accompanied with a note(s) where appropriate. Tank barrel manufacturers’ design criteria, test and product specification plates have not been considered in this European Standard as they are specified in EN 12561-1:2011, Railway applications - Tank wagons - Part 1: Identification plates for tank wagons for the carriage of dangerous goods. Dangerous Goods markings have not been considered in this European Standard where fully specified in RID (dimensions, colour, location and form). Where markings are not fully specified in RID they are included in this standard.

SIST EN 15877-1:2012
EN 15877-1:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European standard describes standardised markings for use on railway vehicles. 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. The provisions of this Part 1 of the standard cover: ⎯ the markings required by the Conventional Rail Rolling Stock Freight Wagon TSI which mandates the minimum set of markings relevant to its design and operation to be carried by any wagon which is certified as TSI and/or UTP compliant; ⎯ the markings, in addition to those which are TSI/UTP mandatory, which are relevant to its design and operation as required by industry. In addition to the markings shown in this standard, there might be other industrial markings and text applied to a freight wagon, e.g. instructions and warnings concerning the use of equipment. Such additional markings are not in contravention of this standard provided they do not interfere with or affect the markings in the standard. The standard is applicable to all railway freight wagons operating within the European Union, the European Free Trade Association Member States and states which are member of OTIF (Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail) and it satisfies the legal requirements within these institutions. The standard is consistent with: ⎯ the Technical Specification for Interoperability Subsystem: Rolling Stock Scope: Freight Wagons as published in the EU official journal L344 dated 8th December 2006, as amended by Commission Decision (2009/107/EC), ⎯ The Technical Specification for Interoperability Subsystem : Operation and Traffic Management
⎯ the Convention Concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) as amended by the Vilnius Protocol in force from 1.7.2006, applicable from 01.01.2011 It therefore supports the essential requirements of: ⎯ Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community; ⎯ COTIF UTP GEN-A: General provisions – Essential requirements (A 94-01A/1.2009) in force since 1st August 2009. It is intended to be used by all parties concerned with the marking of railway vehicles. SIST EN 15877-1:2012

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 above the rail SIST EN 15877-1:2012
EN 15877-1:2012 (E) 8 surface1).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. 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 same colour which accentuates the marking. The requirement for a 100 mm minimum width shall also apply if the colour of the material on which the marking is placed does not provide enough contrast to the marking; for example, the markings in 4.5.13 which have a yellow outer part will need a border if they are placed on a wagon that is painted yellow. 4.1.4 Graffiti which affects the visibility or understanding of the markings shall be removed. 4.1.5 Unless otherwise indicated in the diagrams, 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 to +90 ºC. 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. If a marking has faded e.g. due to sunlight, it shall be restored. 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, Arial. 4.1.8 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. 4.1.9 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. 4.1.10 The inscription panel may be replaced by applying the requisite markings directly to the sidewall or tank.
1) 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 1500 mm above ground; and the reading distance should be minimum 700 mm from the side of the wagon. Tilting the head back, it should be possible to look up at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal; a calculation using these parameters gives the limitation 2000 mm. SIST EN 15877-1:2012
EN 15877-1:2012 (E) 9 4.2 Colour 4.2.1 Colours used shall conform to the colour areas indicated in the chromaticity diagram (Figure 1). Table 1 shows the coordinates in the chromaticity diagram of the four corners which, connected by straight lines, indicates the boundaries for the allowed variation of the colour. Colours that do not meet these chromaticity coordinates shall not be used. The colours indicated in the diagrams are defined according to ISO 3864-1. 4.2.2 Unless otherwise indicated in the diagrams, the colours need not be made of retro reflecting material. 4.2.3 The luminance contrast k shall be greater than 5. 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. Table 1

Measurements of chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor ß shall be made as specified in CIE 015-2004. For the measurement of chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor ß of ordinary, luminescent and retro reflecting markings, the material is considered to be illuminated by daylight as represented by the standard illuminant D65 at an angle of 45° with the normal to the surface and the observation made in the direction of the normal (45/0 geometry). The coefficient of retro reflection shall be measured in accordance with CIE 054.2–2001, using standard illuminant A with the condition that the entrance and observation angles are in the same plane. 4.3 Positioning Where applicable, markings shall be positioned generally according to Figures 2.a, 2.b and 3. 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 diagrams.

Key: 1, 2 and 3 classification of kinematic gauges in accordance with EN 15273-2 4 white 5
red w width depending on the font chosen Position: On the left of each side wall, or the left of each solebar, or on inscription panels, near to the vehicle number. Meaning: Key 1: G1 or GA or GB or GC indicates the Kinematic reference contour of the wagon as requested in the WAG TSI and OTIF regulations. Figure 6b is used when the gauge is different from G1 or GA or GB or GC. Key 2: indicates the kinematic reference contour for the superstructure of the wagon. The contour of the kinematic gauge must be smaller or equal to the kinematic gauge according to Key 1. For example G1 or G2 or GB1 or GB2, etc., Key 3: indicates the kinematic reference contour for the infrastructure of the wagon For example GI1 or GI2 or GI3, etc.
NOTE This gauge marking does not indicate the loading gauge of the wagon. For instance it is possible to load GI1 flat wagon in respect of the GC loading gauge and in accordance with operational rules.

Key: 1 red Position: On the left of each side of the wagon. Meaning: Indicates the wagon tare (upper figure) and hand braked weight (lower figure). The marking shown in Figures 8 or 9 is marked on the wagon when the hand braked weight is less than the total weight of the vehicle (tare + load corresponding to the maximum weight). The braked weight as shown in Figure 9 shall be marked in a red box when it refers to a ground-operated hand brake. When a wagon is fitted with more than one independently-acting hand brake, the corresponding number of brakes shall be indicated in front of the braked weight (for example: 2 × 00,0 t). NOTE The marking shown in Figure 7 should not be affixed to a wagon that is to carry the marking in Figures 8 or 9 Figure 9 — Wagon tare and braked weight of the ground-operated hand brake (the latter to be shown in a red box)
