CERTIFICATION™
SERVICES

Demonstrate your value as


a quality supplier in the international
rail transport sector

BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Quality is a prerequisite for a reliable and safe rail product. Railway operators expect their supply chain to
remain competitive, and to provide proven solutions for cars, facilities and operating equipment that meet
high quality standards.

BUREAU VERITAS SOLUTION


IRIS is the International Railway Industry Standard led by UNIFE
(European Rail Industry Association) and largely recognized by railway
stakeholders such as system manufacturers and railway operators.
IRIS as the quality standard is requested in Europe and undergoing
worldwide development in China, Russia and other Asian and
American countries. Based on an internationally recognized
ISO/TS 22163:2017 standard, which includes specific application
requirements for rail organizations as well as the ISO 9001 quality
standard, IRIS is moving the milestone to become ISO Technical
standard.
The aim of IRIS is to improve the quality and reliability of rolling stock,
signaling and infrastructure by improving the whole supply chain.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN


IRIS AND ISO 9001?
IRIS Certification™ ISO/TS 22163 standard is based on the ISO 9001
structure and adds railway specific requirements to the business
management system, for example in relation to project management
and design.

DOES IRIS CERTIFICATION™ BRING ME ANY


COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES?
Rail suppliers need to maintain the same high quality standards
as they open new plants and meet railway operators expectations.
IRIS Certification can bring you competitive advantages and support
you to meet the challenges in rail industry.
