Tank Wagon VA – Learning Case Policy agenda for 2019 4th Railway Package: last mile Early May: next Meeting in Valenciennes Experience with OSS RID issues UIP letter sent to EC/ERA EU-wide validity of national tank type approvals No limitation of wagon registration or use Objective: Harmonised process for the approval, maintenance and inspection of tanks and its implementation in RID on agenda of OTIF Joint Coordination Group Experts RID/ATMF (9-11th of September) Tank Wagon VA – Learning Case Gone live on 16 February 7 freight wagon manufacturers have already contacted ERA to coordinate planning of activities Until 16 June – possibility to ask for ERA assistance (charged under Art. 43 ERA regulation) and grant access to application OSS training sessions in Valenciennes in EN until September 2019 UIP contact ERA on need to finalise conformity to type authorisations within 2 working days – confirmation of being able to deal with potentially large number of applications in transition phase Tank Wagon VA Learning Case: Experience with the OSS-Project (IT does it work, papers all clear and understood, timeline and further OSS process) RID (and may be PED) problems of cross or mutual acceptance – have Commission and Emmanuel Ruffin/ERA involved in that meeting, as ERA is not able to decide on acceptance of RID for all member states. Problem expressed in UIP letter to Keir Fitch/Joseph Doppelbauer: National tank type approvals acc. to OTIF (classes 3-9) – tank wagon to be used freely in all OTIF contracting states Problem: while the AoU is never limited, some MS still request tank approval by national authority for the registration in their NVR 1. Agency not to consider registration as criterion to limit the AoU for wagons holding a single tank type approval acc. to RID 2. not to limit the registration to the MS which delivered the tank type approval

Technical policy at EU level New TSI NOISE Exemptions at EU-level Following exemptions exist for the use of “non-silent” wagons on “quieter routes” throughout EU according to 7.2.2 of Annex to NOI TSI: “Degraded operation”: rolling stock failures, extreme weather conditions, infrastructure failures or wagon / infrastructure maintenance works which were scheduled Wagons operated in lines with a slopes > 40‰ Wagons running at a speed > 120 km/h Wagons with an axle load higher than 22.5 t Wagons subject to a derogation against a TSI Noise Wagons, for which the application of this Regulation is not mandatory (e.g. ‘Schnabel’ wagons, on-track machines, wagons operated on the 1 520 mm track gauge system, wagons used purely for historical / touristic use) Wagons which are exclusively operated for infrastructure maintenance and construction works. Higher than 22.5to = if infrastructure able to handle it!! -> authorisation
