Introduction

Under the guidance of the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Rail Industry Forum (RIF),the railroad industry, railroads and suppliers, have jointly developed warranty standards toassist the rail industry in better tracking and identifying of serialized components used in avariety of the railroad equipment.

The committee has developed these labeling examples to use as a minimum guide and doesnot limit other possible locations or components. They are meant to be used as a guideline tohelp both railroads and suppliers manage their equipment identification process efficientlyand effectively. It is not meant to be an industry requirement to do business. It will be up toeach railroad and each supplier to decide how they want to use and enforce the standard tomanage their business relationship.

In short, the new standard requires designated parts be given a unique identifier with keyinformation bar coded on the part or on a label that is permanently attached to the part. Whenfinalized and issued as a new AAR Technical Standard, it will provide a consistent anduniform method for labeling and identification of designated railroad products andcomponents. We expect standardized component labeling and identification to yieldsignificant efficiency and cost benefits for the industry in terms of product traceability,inventory management, maintenance operations, root cause analysis of defects, service lifecalculations (reliability) and warranty claims processing.
