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. 

Changes of sport class result in the cancellation of the record.

16.9.003 Only world records (except the hour records) set during a competition on the international or national calendar may be recognised. 

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.

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. 

The para-cycling hour record attempt shall be conducted according to the articles 3.5.026 to 3.5.033 of the UCI Regulations.

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.
