This certification is intended for all players in the rail supply chain: suppliers, integrators and operators involved in the design, development, production and maintenance of rolling stock in Europe and worldwide.

Are you a supplier, integrator or operator in the rail industry involved in the design, development, production or maintenance of equipment? Enhance your quality management system with an undeniable competitive advantage: IRIS - ISO/TS 22163 certification!

Based on ISO 9001 certification and enriched with criteria specific to the rail sector, internationally recognized IRIS certification is a performance assessment tool aimed at continuous improvement and operational excellence.

The IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard), introduced in 2006, was developed by Unife (Union des Industries Ferroviaires Européennes) with the help of major players in the railway industry (Alstom Transport, Bombardier Transportation, Siemens Transportation Systems, AnsaldoBreda, railway equipment manufacturers).
