Apply for a railway vehicle authorisation for placing on the market or vehicle type authorisation

All applications for vehicle and/or vehicle type authorisation must be submitted electronically via the One-Stop Shop (OSS). This applies to the first railway vehicle authorisation for placing on the market and/or vehicle type authorisation (new model), changes to an already approved vehicle and/or vehicle type, authorisations for an extended area of use, vehicles conforming to an already approved vehicle type and the renewal of vehicle type authorisations.

You can submit your application to Traficom via the OSS in Finnish, Swedish or in English.

All decisions on vehicle or vehicle type authorisations will be stored in the OSS. In the OSS, you can only view information on your own applications.

Once the authorisation has been granted, the details of the vehicle type will be published in the European Register of Authorised Vehicle Types (ERATV). Certain documents concerning the authorisation process will also be published in the European Railway Agency Database of Interoperability and Safety (ERADIS).

In addition to Finnish and Swedish, Traficom may issue decisions in English if the applicant is located abroad or is a foreign national.
