Telematics Applications for Passenger Service TSI

Migration Company Code (CC) to Organisation Code (OC)

Starting January 1, 2026, all railway actors within the EU must switch to the Organization Code.

Change in Responsibility

- Until December 31, 2025, all railway actors within the EU use the 4-digit numeric Company Code, assigned by UIC (also known as RICS code), for unique identification in Telematics TSI message exchange.
- From January 1, 2026, all railway actors within the EU must switch to a 4-character alphanumeric Organization Code, assigned by ERA.

Important: No automatic migration!

- To continue participating in Telematics TSI message exchange without issues after January 1, 2026, you need an Organization Code that matches your current Company Code.
- If you do not have a code yet, please apply for an Organization Code immediately and inform your partners in the Telematics TSI message exchange.

Notify Your Partners

- Report the alignment of your Organization Code immediately to your customer advisor and other partners in the Telematics TSI message exchange.
- This also applies to new assignments and first-time assignments.

Required Actions for Migration

Please check the list below of possible migration steps if you must act for the migration of the company code to the organisation code:

1. Company Code and Organization Code match → No action required.
2. Company Code exists, but no Organization Code → Apply for an Organization Code matching the Company Code.
3. Company Code and Organization Code differ → Delete the Organization Code and then apply for a matching one.
4. Neither Company Code nor Organization Code exists → Apply for an Organization Code.

Application Process

You have to apply via the ERA OCR tool: https://www.era.europa.eu/domains/registers/ocr_en

Impact on NVR/EVR

If you are a railway undertaking (RU) and apply for alignment of your Organization Code with your Company Code (case 3 in the Required actions for migration), you must also update entries in the
National Vehicle Register (NVR) and European Vehicle Register (EVR) after the adjustment.

Telematics Applications for Passenger Service TSI

This TSI concerns the telematics applications subsystem and applies to applications for passenger services, including systems providing passengers with information before and during the journey, reservation and payment systems, luggage management and management of connections between trains and with other modes of transport.

The reference data (company codes, location codes) can be found in the TAF/TAP TSI reference data portal.

Technical documents

The technical documents, including the different baselines and reference files, are available here.
