The present document describes a coding structure to identify unambiguously and uniquely railway customer locations as defined in the Technical Specification for Interoperability - Telematics Applications Freight Services (TAF-TSI) derived from the Directives 2001/14/EC and 2001/16/EC. The defined coding structure of locations meets the requirements and vision of the TAF-TSI. It can be used various applications and for different purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.). The code allows the identification of a unique primary location and, if existing, of its subsidiaries. The coding structure has sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for codes requested in the forthcoming decades in the current EU single market, its possible expansion and operation with non-EU and OTIF member States.
