The VIN shall consist of the following three sections and a check digit: (a) the world manufacturer identifier (WMI); (b) the vehicle descriptor section (VDS); (c) the vehicle indicator section (VIS). 2.2. The WMI shall consist of a code assigned to the vehicle manufacturer which enables that manufacturer to be identified. 2.2.1. The code shall comprise three alphanumeric characters, capital roman letters or Arabic numerals, which shall be assigned by the competent authority in the country where the principal place of business of the manufacturer is situated. 2.2.2. The competent authority shall act in accordance with the international organisation referred to in Standard ISO 3780:2009 on "Road vehicles – World manufacturer identifier (WMI) code". 2.2.3. Where the manufacturer's global production is less than 500 vehicles per year, the third character shall always be '9'. In order to identify such manufacturers, the competent authority referred to in point 2.2. shall assign the third, the fourth and the fifth character of the VIS. 2.3. The VDS shall consist of five alphanumeric characters, capital roman letters or Arabic numerals, which shall serve to indicate the general characteristics of the vehicle. Where the manufacturer does not use one or more of the five characters, the unused spaces shall be filled in with alphanumeric characters at the manufacturer's discretion so that the total number of characters is five. 2.4. The ninth position of the VIN shall be a check digit that is mathematically correct in accordance with the formula specified in Section C. 2.5. The VIS shall consist of eight alphanumeric characters, capital Roman letters or Arabic numerals, of which the last four shall consist of digits only. The VIS shall provide, in conjunction with the WMI and the VDS, clear identification of a particular vehicle. Any unused space shall be filled in with the digit '0' so that the total number of characters is eight. 2.6. The height of the characters of the VIN marked on the chassis shall be no less than 7 mm. 2.7. There shall be no space between the characters. 2.8.

That symbol should neither be a Roman capital letter nor an Arabic numeral. 2.9.1. The requirement under point 2.9. may be waived where the VIN is marked on a single line. 2.9.2. Where the VIN is marked on two lines, the requirement under point 2.9. shall apply to each line. 2.10. Requirements for location of the VIN on a vehicle 2.10.1. The VIN shall be marked on a single line. 2.10.1.1. Where, for technical reasons such as lack of space, the VIN cannot be marked on a single line, the national authority may, at the request of the manufacturer, allow the VIN to be marked on two lines. In such case, the sections referred to in point 2.1. may not be interrupted. 2.10.2. The VIN shall be marked by stamping or mechanical hammering on the chassis, frame or other similar structure. 2.10.3. Techniques that are proven to offer the same level of inalterability against tampering or forgery as mechanical hammering may be used instead of that technique. 2.10.4. The VIN shall be marked in a clearly visible and easily accessible location, in a way that the marking cannot be obliterated or deteriorate. 2.10.5.

The technically permissible mass is mentioned on this plate, meaning that it has been changed in the current stage of approval. The technically permissible maximum mass of the combination is not mentioned on this plate, meaning that it has not been changed in the current stage of approval. In addition, the entry ‘0’ is not mentioned meaning that the vehicle is permitted to tow a trailer. The technically permissible maximum mass on the first axle is mentioned on this plate, meaning that it has been changed in the current stage of approval. The technically permissible maximum mass on the second axle is not mentioned on this plate, meaning that it has not been changed in the current stage of approval. Section C Check digit 1. The check digit shall be calculated by carrying out the mathematical computation specified in points 1.1. to 1.4. 1.1. Assign to each number in the VIN its actual mathematical value and assign to each letter the value specified below: A = 1 J = 1 S = 2 B = 2 K = 2 T = 3 C = 3 L = 3 U = 4 D = 4 M = 4 V = 5 E = 5 N = 5 W = 6 F = 6 P = 7 X = 7 G = 7 R = 9 Y = 8 H = 8 Z = 9 1.2. Multiply the assigned value for each character in the VIN by the position weight factor specified below: 1 st = 8 10 th = 9 2 nd = 7 11 th = 8 3 rd = 6 12 th = 7 4 th = 5 13 th = 6 5 th = 4 14 th = 5 6 th = 3 15 th = 4 7 th = 2 16 th = 3 8 th = 10 17 th = 2 9 th = check digit 1.3. Add the resulting products and divide the total by 11. 1.4. The check digit (number 0 to 9 or letter X) is based on either the fractional remainder or the decimal equivalent remainder (rounded to the nearest thousandth) as listed in the table below.
