The present leaflet defines the conditions governing the exchange, between railway undertakings (RU), of wagons used in domestic or international freight traffic. It also lists the three possible forms of organisation available for technical inspections. Their implementation must comply with RIV regulations and with the special agreements signed between RUs. The second part of the leaflet focuses on these agreements, with indications concerning exchange procedures, the treatment of defects and related costs.
