Classification and labeling of motor vehicles. Classification and designation system of motor vehicles. VIN code - what is it for?

According to the current industry normative and technical documentation, industrially produced products must bear the manufacturer's markings.

Marking– these are trademarks, symbols, inscriptions and images applied to the product and providing information about the product, its manufacturer, as well as data necessary for the installation and operation of the product. Marking can be basic (mandatory) and additional (recommended).

Motor vehicles are subject to mandatory marking. One of the main parts of car marking Vehicle is the VIN code. Main international standard regulating the application of the VIN code is the ISO 4030‑83 “Vehicle Identification Number. Location and method of application." The contents of STB 984-2009 are based on the requirements of this standard, as well as ISO 3779‑1983, ISO 3780‑1983.

The VIN code is placed on the vehicle manufacturer's plate, as well as on the frame, chassis or part of the body that is not easily removable, in one or two lines without spaces or section breaks. The identification number, if possible, should be marked with right side, in the front of the vehicle, in an easily accessible place for reading.

In case of application identification number in two lines, characters from 1st to 9th inclusive are located on the first line, characters from 10th to 17th inclusive are located on the second line. A separator must be placed at the beginning and end of the lines, which is set by the vehicle manufacturer (for example, the sign “*”). The identification number indicated in the vehicle documents must be located on one line without spaces or separators.

The height of the signs of the identification number applied to the vehicle must be at least 7 mm for vehicles of categories M, N, O and at least 4 mm for vehicles of category L. The height of the signs on the manufacturer's plate(s) must be at least 4 mm for vehicles of categories M, N, O and at least 3 mm for vehicles of category L.

The method and technology of applying the VIN code are not regulated. However, the manufacturer is obliged to mark the identification number clearly, in a manner that ensures its durability and prevents its marks from being easily altered. The identification number must be printed without spaces between characters. Structure, content and locations Vehicle VIN vehicles certified in the territory of the Republic of Belarus are indicated in Appendix No. 2 to the “Vehicle Type Approval” and in the operating manual.

On a vehicle other than identification VIN numbers, applied directly to the vehicle, a manufacturer's plate must be installed, which is placed in a place convenient for reading - a part of the vehicle (chassis) that cannot be replaced during operation, and must not be removed without the use of a special tool.

The manufacturer's plate must be rectangular shape with dimensions that allow it to be placed in general case, the following mandatory information in Russian and (or) foreign language:

1 Manufacturer's name. The manufacturer may also place on the label trademark as additional information;

2 Vehicle type approval number assigned in in the prescribed manner;

3 Vehicle identification number (VIN code);

4 Permissible total vehicle weight;

5 Permissible weight a combined vehicle, if the vehicle is used to tow a trailer (semi-trailer);

6 Acceptable axial loads(weights are indicated sequentially, starting from the front axle);

6 Permissible weight per fifth wheel (for semi-trailer).

An example of a manufacturer's plate is shown in Figure 5.

The manufacturer may place on the label Additional information. This information must be located below or to the side of the rectangle containing the required inscriptions.

If the information on the manufacturer's plate is presented in a foreign language, its translation must be given in the instruction manual.

The manufacturer may additionally apply visible or invisible (visible in ultraviolet rays) markings to vehicles containing the VIN code or its descriptive (VDS) and index (VIS) parts.

Inscriptions in a foreign language applied by the manufacturer to the external or inner surface vehicle for the purpose of warning or informing consumers about design features of this vehicle must be duplicated in Russian. It is allowed not to duplicate well-known inscriptions in Russian, consisting of one or two words, applied to the controls. Translation and explanation of such inscriptions must be given in the vehicle operating instructions. An example of such a translation is shown in Figure 6.

Marking of vehicles (TS) is divided into main and additional. Basic marking of vehicles and their components is mandatory and is carried out their manufacturers. If a vehicle is manufactured sequentially by several enterprises, it is permissible to apply the main marking of the vehicle only by the manufacturer of the final product. Additional markings TS is recommended and is carried out both by vehicle manufacturers and and specialized enterprises. The main marking is carried out on the following products:

  • trucks, including specialized and special ones on their chassis, tractors with an onboard platform, as well as multi-purpose vehicles and special wheeled chassis;
  • passenger cars, including specialized and special ones based on them, cargo-passenger cars;
  • buses, including specialized and special buses based on them;
  • trolleybuses;
  • trailers and semi-trailers;
  • forklifts;
  • internal combustion engines;
  • motor vehicles;
  • chassis trucks;
  • truck cabins;
  • car bodies;
  • blocks of internal combustion engines.

Vehicle marking

A. Directly The vehicle identification number - VIN - must be applied to the product (non-removable part), in places least susceptible to destruction in a traffic accident. One of the selected The seats should be on the right side (in the direction of travel of the vehicle).
VIN is applied:

  • on the body of a passenger car - in two places, in the front and rear parts;
  • on the back of the bus - in two different places;
  • on the body of a trolleybus - in one place;
  • on a truck cab and a forklift - In one place;
  • on the frame of a trailer, semi-trailer and motor transport funds - in one place;
  • on off-road vehicles, trolleybuses and forklifts The VIN may be indicated on a separate plate.

B. The vehicle, as a rule, must have a plate located, if possible, in the front part and containing the following data:

  • index (model, modification, version) of the engine (with a working volume of 125 cm3 or more);
  • permissible gross weight;
  • permissible total weight of the road train (for tractors);
  • permissible weight per bogie axle(s), starting from the front axle;
  • permissible weight permissible to fifth wheel device.

Vehicle identification number (VIN) - a combination of digital and alphabetic symbols assigned for identification purposes, is a mandatory element of marking and is individual for each vehicle for 30 years.

VIN has the following structure: WMI VDS VIS

The first part of the VIN (the first three characters) is international identification code manufacturer (WMI), allows you to identify the vehicle manufacturer and consists of three letters or letters and numbers.

In accordance with ISO 3780, the letters and numbers used in the first two characters of the WMI are assigned to the country and controlled by an international agency, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), working under the direction of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Distribution of the first two signs characterizing the zone and country of origin, according to SAE, given in Appendix 1.

The first character (geographic area code) is a letter or number that designates a specific geographic area.
For example:
from 1 to 5 - North America;
S to Z - Europe;
from A to H - Africa;
from J to R - Asia;
6.7 - Countries of Oceania;
8,9,0 - South America.

The second character (country code) is a letter or number that identifies the country in a specific geographic area. If necessary, multiple symbols may be used to indicate a country. Only the combination of the first and second characters guarantees unambiguous identification of the country. For example:
from 10 to 19 - USA;
from 1A to 1Z - USA;
from 2A to 2W - Canada;
from WA to 3W - Mexico;
from W0 to W9 - Germany, Federal Republic;
from WA to WZ - Germany, Federal Republic.

The third character is a letter or number that is assigned to the manufacturer by the National Organization. In Russia, such an organization is the Central Scientific Research Automobile and Motor Vehicle Institute (NAMI), located at the address: Russia, 125438, Moscow, st. Automotive, house 2, which assigns WMI as a whole.

Only the combination of the first, second and third characters provides unambiguous identification of the vehicle manufacturer - the international manufacturer identification code (WMI). The number 9 as the third character is used by National Organizations when it is necessary to characterize a manufacturer that produces less than 500 cars per year. International manufacturer codes (WMI) are given in Appendix 2. The second part of the VIN - the descriptive part of the identification number (VDS) consists of six characters (if the vehicle index consists of less than six characters, then

to blank the last VDS signs (on the right) are filled with zeros), indicating, as a rule, the model and modification of the vehicle, according to the design documentation (CD). The third part of the VIN - the index part of the identification number (VIS) - consists of eight characters (numbers and letters), of which the last four characters must be numbers. The first VIS character indicates the year code of the vehicle (see Appendix 3), subsequent characters indicate

serial number

Vehicle assigned by the manufacturer.

Several WMIs may be assigned to a manufacturer, but the same number may not be assigned to another vehicle manufacturer for at least 30 years from the moment it was first used by the previous (first) manufacturer. Motor vehicles (ATS) are divided into passenger, cargo and special. TO passenger transport relate cars and buses. To cargo - cargo

flatbed cars , vans, dump trucks, tractors, trailers and semi-trailers, including specialized vehicles designed to transport a specific type of special cargo. Special vehicles include rolling stock equipped and designed to perform special, predominantly non-transport work, not related to the transportation of general cargo (including firefighters, utilities, workshops, cranes, tankers, tow trucks, etc.). Currently, a new international classification and designations adopted in international regulations developed by the Committee on

Along with the new international classification, our country also uses the industry standard OH 025 270-66, which regulates the classification and designation system of vehicles. The rolling stock was assigned designations in accordance with factory registers, including: letter designations manufacturer, and the serial number of the rolling stock model. Factory designations of rolling stock are still practiced for a number of models, including specialized and special purpose.



In accordance with the standard OH 025 270-66, the following ATS designation system was adopted.
