The Vehicle Keeper Marking Register (VKM Register) provides the unique VKM and name of all keepers (EU/OTIF). It is defined in Appendix 6 part 1 of Decision 2007/756/EC.
The VKM register is updated on a monthly basis.
Since 2014, a joint OTIF/EU VKM Register is hosted by ERA and provides the VKM details in four languages (English, French, German, Russian).
The VKM register is available either in PDF or in Excel format. In case there are differences between both files, the PDF format prevails over the other format.
Any request for a new VKM, a change of the VKM and the change of the keeper´s name should be submitted to the National Safety Authority of that Member State, where the respective keeper has its place of business, using a dedicated form (Word or Excel).
The EVR Decision 2018/1614 defines the Organisation Codes as a code consisting of four alphanumeric characters. Any Organisation accessing the EVR shall be assigned an organisation code. Organisation Codes are allocated by the Agency to all interested parties, operating in the European Railway system.
The Organisation Codes are the equivalent of Company Codes issued by UIC.
In the first phase of implementation of the Organisation Code allocation, the Agency issues solely alphanumeric codes. Companies involved into TAF/TAP data exchange and companies cooperating with OSJD members, still need to obtain a 4 digit numeric code from UIC.
Any request for a new alphanumeric Organisation Code or for modification of Organisation data should be submitted to the Agency by e-mail using the dedicated form in Excel
