UIC Code

The UIC Code, established by the International Union of Railways (UIC), is a standardized system used worldwide to identify, classify, and manage railway equipment, such as cars and locomotives. It ensures consistency across different countries and rail operators, making operations safer, more efficient, and easier to coordinate internationally. The code includes unique identifiers like equipment numbers and technical specifications, facilitating smooth communication and maintenance. Essentially, the UIC Code acts as a universal language for the global railway industry, helping to streamline the exchange of information and improve interoperability among rail systems.
