The GS1 ID Rail standard: a common foundation for rail traceability
In a sector where safety, maintenance and logistics demand absolute rigor, the GS1 ID Rail standard provides a concrete response to the challenges of rail asset traceability.
Developed by GS1 in partnership with the rail industry, this standard is designed to standardize the identification of rolling stock (bogies, axles, trainsets, critical components, etc.), whatever their origin, manufacturer or operator. It is based on unique, interoperable codes that can be used by the entire industrial chain.
With ID Rail, each asset is assigned a permanent identifier, automatically readable via technologies such as passive RFID, 2D codes or DPM marking. This approach makes data exchanges more reliable, reduces errors, facilitates preventive maintenance and speeds up logistics operations.
By adopting the ID Rail standard, you are committed to interoperability, sustainability and performance on a European and international scale.
