EUR-box pallets are manufactured in compliance with the UIC-code 435-3. Before a EUR-box pallet can be exchanged, the inscription plate must have the following features:

These regulations apply to repaired EUR-box pallets as well.
Features of the grey inscription plate:
  In the upper third of the plate the signs EUR (in oval) and DB (in emblem) are embossed.
 
EUR-pallets produced in the field of responsibility of other railways are marked with the railway signs as follows:
 
List of railway signs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  • Below, a seven or eight digit Y-code is put on with stencils and black paint.
  • The letter Y must be embossed.
  • Every Y-code is granted by EPAL only once.
Regulations for repair:
  • Faded Y-codes on box pallets to repair must be newly put on with (stencils and) black paint.
  • Every Y-code is granted by EPAL only once. EPAL grants special numerical series for the repair to enable a better identification of forgeries or improper repairs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
  • If the inspection is positive a forgery-safe golden EPAL-control seal is stuck on a pit next to the Y-code.
Regulations for repair:
  • As a sign of a proper repair a green EPAL-seal with the licence code of the repairer is stuck on the pit instead of the golden EPAL-seal.

  Below the following inscriptions are embossed:
  • Tare ~ 85 kg
  • Payload max. 1 500 kg
  • Stacking load max. 6 000 kg
  • Capacity ~ 0,75 m
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  On the left side on the bottom of the inscription plate the sign EPAL in oval is embossed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  • Next to it on the right the name and registered office of the manufacturer must be mentioned – both in details if desired.
     
  • As an alternative the licence code of the manufacturer can be embossed there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The inscription plates of older EUR-box pallets (till 1995) are a bit different:
 
  • The inscription plate is black and the Y-code is stencilled in white paint.
  • The silver quality seal does not show the mark EPAL (in oval), but there is among others the sign RAL-RG 993 in the middle.
  • This box pallet has a payload of max. 900 kg only.

The put in circulation of counterfeited EUR-box pallets will be prosecuted without exception!
