Entity in Charge of Maintenance
The Entity in Charge of Maintenance (the entity responsible for maintenance) denotes a new role in rail transport.
After the liberalization of rail traffic, the role of the previously integrated railway companies and state railways was divided into various sub-roles. These are in particular
- Vehicle owner
- Vehicle owner
- Vehicle operator ( railway company )
- Entity in Charge of Maintenance (entity in charge of maintenance)
- Infrastructure operator ( railway infrastructure company )
Regulation (EU) 445/2011 created a certification requirement for maintenance of freight wagons and at the same time defined a catalog of requirements. For all other maintenance of railway vehicles, certification is expected to be mandatory from 2018.
According to this regulation, the ECM has four sub-roles
- Management function (ECM 1)
- Maintenance development (ECM 2)
- Vehicle fleet management (ECM 3)
- Maintenance function (ECM 4)
The ECM is valid in the European Railway Agency (ERA European Railway Agency ) and the Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF organization intergovernmental pour les transports internationaux ferroviaires ).
