This standard applies to the vehicles and railway parts production and maintenance, as well as the welded manufacture of metallic materials.

The EN 15085 standards are as follows:

  • TS EN 15085-1 - Part 1: General
  • TS EN 15085-2 - Part 2: Quality Specifications and Certification of Welding Manufacturers
  • TS EN 15085-3 - Part 3: Design specifications
  • TS EN 15085-4 - Part 4: Manufacturing requirements
  • TS EN 15085-5 - Part 5: Inspection, testing and documentation

From simple constructions to hazardous constructions, welding is an important part of its manufacture in many products and the quality of welded manufacture is a determining factor in these systems.

The ISO 3824 standard is the business guide for welding work in metal product manufacturing companies.

The ISO 3834 standard became widespread soon after its publication. European Union directives also refer to the ISO 3834 standard.

       ISO 9001 is the standard for quality management. It provides guarantees in terms of organizational quality within any type of structure. ISO 9001 certification is used as a proof that a continuous improvement system has been implemented within the company.

The ISO 9001 standard is based on the quality management principles:

  • Customer orientation: how to adapt to the needs of one's customers
  • Leadership: Management assumes the system performance
  • Collaboration : impliquer les collaborateurs de l'entreprise dans les objectifs
  • Process approach: manage resources and activities as processes
  • Improvement
  • Evidence-Based Decision Making
  • Management of relations with the interested teams

The philosophy of this standard thus lies in taking into account:

  • Organization context: its products / services
  • Of its risks and opportunities,
  • Of the system performance,
  • Monitoring and improving the satisfaction of its customers

VPI European Rail Service GmbH (VERS) is committed to extend the success of the VPI maintenance guide and carrying out technical evaluations of proven workshops. The company VERS seta a clear objective: To reinforce the transparency, the quality and above all the international reach of our modular guide.

VPI European Maintenance Guide offers wagon keepers practical recommendations for setting up a modern maintenance management system at European level.

This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the metal pressure tanks design and construction used for dangerous goods transport of by road, rail and sea. This standard includes the requirements for openings, closures and structural equipment.

This standard was prepared by the sub-committee NA 087-00-15-01 UA "Grundlagen und Fertigungstechnologien" ("Terms and definitions for the reliable condition of railway vehicles") of the working committee NA 087-00-15 AA "Zustand der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge" ("State of Railway Vehicles") to the DIN Standards Committee Railway (FSF) in coordination with other working committees of the FSF and the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Automotive Technologies information).

UNECTO is the tourist railways and railway museums federation in France. Its members are companies, voluntary associations or local communities.

Most of the French tourist railways are now members of UNECTO. The members of the federation represent more than 90% of the tourists transported by the tourist railways in France, that is to say 3.5 million annual entries.

UNECTO objectives are:

  • Promote the sector and promote the advantages of tourist railways to the general public and institutional partners;
  • Defend the interests of its members, particularly during discussions on draft regulations applicable to the sector;
  • Offer its members shared services (training, marketing solutions, etc.);
  • Promote the exchange and sharing of information among its members, with the objective of collectively advancing the quality of the tourist rail supply.

This standard applies to the vehicles and railway parts production, as well as the welded manufacture of metallic materials.

The EN 15085-2 CL1 standard meets the following expectations:

  • EN 15085-2 - Part 2: Quality Specifications and Certification of Welding Manufacturers
  • CL1: Railway vehicles and vehicle parts with top class welds (this level covers the manufacture of the entire vehicle)

From simple constructions to hazardous constructions, welding is an important part of its manufacture in many products and the quality of welded manufacture is a determining factor in these systems.

The ISO 3824 standard is the business guide for welding work in metal product manufacturing companies.

ISO 3834-2 meets the following expectations:

  • EN ISO 3834-2 - Part 2: Complete quality requirements

The ISO 3834 standard became widespread soon after its publication. European Union directives also refer to the ISO 3834 standard.

The ECM certification ensures you that these 4 following essential functions for efficient and optimal maintenance of our wagons and locomotives will run smoothly:

  • Maintenance supervisory function;
  • Maintenance development function;
  • Fleet maintenance management function
  • Maintenance execution function

SQAS is a management system: the foundations of this system can be built on the basis of the ISO 9001 standard requirements.

The SQAS assessment is a tool that allows a uniform assessment of the quality, safety and environmental management systems of logistics providers.
