UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS  Chapter IX WORLD RECORDS  16.9.001 The world record is the exclusive property of the UCI.  16.9.002  A new world record submission will only be accepted from an athlete who has a  confirmed (C) or review (R) status for the sport class in which the new record was set.  The athlete must also possess a valid international racing licence from a UCI affiliated  national cycling federation.  16.9.003 Only world records (except the hour records) set during a competition on the international  or national calendar may be recognised.  16.9.004  World records are solely recognised for the events and sport classes indicated in article  16.8.003, 16.8.004, 16.8.007, 16.8.009 (on 250 m track only) as well as the 200 m and  the hour record.  16.9.005  A succinct report specifying the circumstances in which the record has been set shall in  all cases be drawn up on the template provided by the UCI. The report shall be  immediately written and signed by the UCI international commissaire, by at least one  other official present and by the athlete(s) who set the record.  New world records will be recognised and ratified by the UCI only.  (text modified on 26.06.07; 01.10.11; 01.07.12)  Changes of sport class result in the cancellation of the record.  (text modified on 01.02.11; 01.07.12)  The hour record may be set during a special attempt that shall be ridden in accordance  with the relevant UCI Regulations. Any special hour record attempt requires the prior  written authorisation of the UCI. The authorisation is subject to the requirements  described from articles 3.5.005 to 3.5.013 and 3.5.015 of the UCI Regulations.  Only world records attempted on a traditional bicycle, as defined in articles 1.3.006 to  1.3.010 and 1.3.019 of the UCI Regulations, including tandem may be homologated.  Handcycles and tricycles can therefore not make a request for the homologation of a  world record.  Records must be set on a UCI-approved track.  (text modified on 01.02.08; 01.02.09; 01.07.12; 01.01.16)  The para-cycling hour record attempt shall be conducted according to the articles 3.5.026  to 3.5.033 of the UCI Regulations.
