Vehicle Keeper Marking  
 

The European Commission has charged the ERA with managing the register for vehicle keepers in EU Member States. TheĀ first preliminary VKM list has been published in July 2007 on ERA and OTIF websites. Updates to the list are made on the first Wednesday of every month.

First formal list of VKMs has been published in January 2010.

Requests concerning applications for a new VKM, a change of the VKM and/or name change of the keeper shall be sent to the NSA of that EU Member State, where keeper has his place of business. The application form is available in MS Excel or MS Word formats.

The Guidelines for Registration of a Vehicle Keeper Marking Code (VKM) are guidelines common to the European Railway Agency (ERA) and the Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF). They specify the setting up and administration of a joint register of railway vehicle keepers and their VKM codes according to Annex P of the Traffic Operation and Management TSI 2006/920/EC.
