Loading Guidelines

Verladerichtlinien / Règles de Chargement (updated April 1, 2022)

Safety of loading in freight transportation is a shared concern by all actors in the rail logistics supply chain: RUs, carriers, consigners/shippers.
The UIC Code of practice for the loading and securing of goods on railway wagons is a reference for a safe loading; the volume 1 (Principles) contains the mandatory requirements to be observed for the safe loading and securing of goods and the volume 2 (Goods), loading guidelines for specific types of goods, developed in compliance with the Principles set out in volume 1 on the basis of tests in practice.
