The maintenance of vehicles is an important part of the safety system as a whole. In the past the lack of a system for certification of ECMs has led to increased costs for the sector and journeys without loads. The management of maintenance was not defined clear enough, not sufficiently controlled and the absence of harmonised rules hampered international competition on the market and international traffic, mainly for freight.
The first step on certification of ECM was the regulation 445/2011 imposing a certificate to all ECMs maintaining freight wagons. After 7 years of implementation of this regulation, the majority of the railway stakeholders requested an extension of the certification to all ECMs. This resulted in the new regulation (EU) 2019/779.
This webinar will focus on the major changes compared to the old regulation and the most important points that you have to keep in mind.
