The Agency shall check the data submitted by the national safety authority regarding their compliance with this specification, and either validate them or request a clarification.

If the Agency considers that the data submitted by the national safety authority are not in compliance with this specification, the Agency shall send the national safety authority a request for correction or clarification of the submitted data.

Upon each update of data regarding a type of vehicle the system shall generate a confirmation message, which shall be sent by e-mail to the users of the national safety authority that submitted the data, to the national safety authority of all other Member States where the type is authorised and to the Agency.

5.2.   Submission of data by national safety authority

Before requesting a modification of an authorisation which may lead to a modification of a registered type of vehicle, the national safety authority shall coordinate with national safety authorities who have granted authorisation for this registered type, and in particular the authority who has registered the type in ERATV.

Withdrawal of authorisation for a vehicle type does not apply to the vehicles already in service.
Error	Transmitted or published data that do not correspond to the given authorisation for type of vehicle. Modification of authorisation does not fall under this definition.

ANNESS II

DATA TO BE REGISTERED AND FORMAT

For each authorised type of vehicle ERATV shall include the following data:

—	identification of the type,

—	manufacturer,

—	conformity with the TSIs,

—	authorisations granted in different Member States, including general information about these authorisations, their status (active, suspended or withdrawn), list of parameters for which conformity with national rules has been checked,

—	technical characteristics,

The data to be registered in ERATV for each type of vehicle and their format shall be as indicated below. The data to be registered depend on the category of the vehicle as indicated below.

The values indicated for the parameters related to the technical characteristics shall be those recorded in the technical documentation accompanying the type examination certificate.

In the cases where possible values for a parameter are limited to a predefined list, these lists shall be maintained and updated by the Agency.

For the types of vehicle that are not in conformity with all the relevant TSIs in force, the national safety authority that has granted the type authorisation may limit the information to be provided on the technical characteristics indicated in section 4 below to the parameters that have been checked according to the applicable rules.

STRUCTURE OF TYPE NUMBER

Each type of vehicle shall receive a number consisting of 10 digits with the following structure:

XX	XXX	XXXX	X
Category —	Family (Platform)	Incremental number	Check digit
Subcategory
Field 1	Field 2	Field 3	Field 4

Where

Field 1 (digits 1 and 2) is assigned according to category and subcategory of the vehicle type in accordance with the following table:

Code	Category	Subcategory
11	Traction vehicles	Locomotive
12		Reserved
13		Self-propelled passenger trainset (incl. railbuses)
14		Reserved
15		Self-propelled freight trainset
16		Reserved
17		Shunter
18		Reserved
19		Other (tramways, light rail vehicles, etc.)
31	Hauled passenger vehicles	Passenger coach (incl. sleeping cars, restaurant, etc.)
32		Reserved
33		Van
34		Reserved
35		Car carrier
36		Reserved
37		Vehicle for services (e.g. kitchen)
38		Reserved
39		Fixed rake of coaches
40		Reserved
41		Other
42-49		Reserved
51	Freight wagons (hauled)	Freight wagon
52		Reserved
53		Fixed rake of freight wagons
54-59		Reserved
71	Special vehicles	Self-propelled special vehicle
72		Reserved
73		Hauled special vehicle
74-79		Reserved

Field 2 (digits from 3 to 5) is assigned according to the family to which the type of vehicle belongs. For new families (i.e. families not yet registered in ERATV) digits are progressively incremented by one unit each time an application for registration of a vehicle type belonging to a new family is received by the Agency.

Field 3 (digits from 6 to 9) is a progressive number incremented by one unit each time an application for registration of a vehicle type belonging to a given family is received by the Agency.

Field 4 (digit 10) is a check digit determined in the following manner (Luhn algorithm or modulus 10):

—	the digits in the even positions of the basic number (fields from 1 to 9 counting from the right) are taken at their own decimal value,

—	the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2,

—	the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained from the odd positions is then established,

—	the units digit of this sum is retained,

—	the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then the check-digit will also be nought,

Examples of determining the check digit

1 -

Let the basic number be 3 3 8 4 4 7 9 6 1 Multiplication factor 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2   6 3 16 4 8 7 18 6 2 Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 52 The units digit of this sum is 2. The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 33 844 7961 – 8.

Let the basic number be 3 1 5 1 3 3 2 0 4 Multiplication factor 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2   6 1 10 1 6 3 4 0 8 Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 8 = 30 The units digit of this sum is 0. The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number 31 513 3204 – 0.
