The UIC introduced a uniform numbering system for their members based on a 12-digit number, largely known as ''UIC number''. The third and fourth digit of the number indicated the owner, or more precisely the keeper of the vehicle. Thus each UIC member got a two-digit [[Railway vehicle owner's code|owner code]]. With the introduction of national vehicle registers this code became a country code. Some vehicles had to be renumbered as a consequence. The Swiss company [[BLS Lötschbergbahn]] had the owner code 63. When their vehicles were registered, they got numbers with the country code 85 for Switzerland and the VKM BLS. Example for an "Einheitswagen" delivered in 1957:
* delivered as BLS B 831
* renumbered with UIC number 50 '''63''' 20-33 801-5
* rebuilt 1991 and renumbered 50 '''63''' 20-33 705-4 
* registered as 50 '''85''' 20-35 451-7 CH-BLS
