Revision agreement CEN/CNL <strong>and</strong> Proposal ISO<br />
The Memor<strong>and</strong>um <strong>of</strong> Underst<strong>and</strong>ing signed in 2005 with CEN <strong>and</strong> CENELEC<br />
needs to be revised to include new issues.<br />
<strong>UIC</strong> has <strong>of</strong>fered a huge<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />
number <strong>of</strong> Leaflets to be converted into European<br />
We need to find a new agreement including <strong>the</strong> <strong>development</strong> <strong>of</strong> ENs <strong>and</strong> <strong>UIC</strong><br />
Leaflets <strong>and</strong> a better definition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> IP (Intellectual Property).<br />
<strong>UIC</strong> cannot be an active Member <strong>of</strong> ISO because it is not a National<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ardisation Body (NSB) . However, it already is an associated Member <strong>of</strong><br />
this Organisation .<br />
ISO has delivered a new TC (Technical Committee) for <strong>the</strong> Railway field, with<br />
<strong>the</strong> participation <strong>of</strong> NSBs.<br />
<strong>UIC</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers a “world vision” for <strong>railway</strong>s with a sole knowledge in <strong>the</strong> field, which<br />
is fully supported by Oriental Countries .<br />
The future <strong>of</strong> <strong>UIC</strong> is <strong>the</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ardisation <strong>of</strong> requirements <strong>and</strong> functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Rail System more than st<strong>and</strong>ardisation <strong>of</strong> industrial components.<br />
For this reason <strong>UIC</strong> is looking for new agreement with CEN/CNL <strong>and</strong> ISO .<br />
