Procedure for Cancelling Sheets
34.
In order to limit the size of the sketchbooks, outdated vehicle sheets must be withdrawn. As, however, certain
vehicles may be used by several countries, it is first essential to ensure that the vehicle is no longer in service with any of
the Armed Forces.
35.
For this purpose, the Military Authorities will forward to their Railway Administration, by 1 January each year, a list
of the numbers of the sheets which they wish to delete. These lists will be notified to the DB, which will prepare an up to
date list and forward this to all Administrations for agreement. The DB will then notify the Administrations of the numbers
of the sheets which it has been unanimously agreed to delete in the form of a corrigendum to the list of vehicles and
other equipment for which a sheet is included in the unified sketchbook.
