Training on the UIP/VPI Cleanliness Level in Tank Car Operations

The UIP/VPI cleanliness code was specifically developed for tank cars and enables a standardized assessment of the internal tank condition. The aim is to create a uniform evaluation basis that can be reliably applied and understood by all parties involved.

Our training provides the necessary expertise for the correct application of the cleanliness code and ensures confidence in assessing cleaning conditions.

Training content:

• Structure and methodology of the cleanliness code
• Definition and classification of cleanliness levels
• Practical examples from everyday operations
• Common evaluation errors and how to avoid them
• Recommendations for documentation and communication

The training is aimed at employees in cleaning, maintenance, logistics and quality assurance, as well as anyone regularly involved with tank cars and their evaluation.

The goal is to create a shared understanding of the cleanliness level and thereby sustainably improve quality and safety in tank car operations.
