Conformity Assessment for Rail Transport

Conformity Assessment | TÜV Rheinland

Inspection, Audit, Testing, Certification for Signaling, Infrastructure, Energy, Rolling Stock

As a business in the rail sector, whether you are a system supplier, component manufacturer or operator, you need certificates and reports from independent third parties in order to qualify your railway and transport technology products. With these you can fulfill conditions for placing your products on the market or for authorizations to be obtained from authorities.

Our independent conformity assessment services are performed on the basis of legal requirements or industry standards relating to safety, interoperability, quality and conformity.

Through efficient assessment of railway systems and products you considerably reduce the risk that your product might not be approved, or that you will not be allowed to place it on the market. Our assessment results will enable you to access new markets and to increase customer confidence in the proven performance of your products.

We have been active in the international railway business for a long time and therefore became a leading provider for assessment and certification services.
