    Beating the Railway Industry Challenges

    The liberalization of European rail transport poses a particular challenge for the railway industry. With increasing competition, especially in the European Union's goods market, railways need "ready to run" transportation systems that meet the many different requirements of individual countries as well as comply with the restrictive regulatory requirements. Additionally, railway operators expect the railway supply industry to remain competitive, and to provide proven solutions for cars, facilities and operating equipment that meet high quality standards.  Promoted by UNIFE (the Union of the European Railway Industries) and supported by system integrators and equipment manufacturers, IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) complements the internationally recognized ISO 9001 quality management standard. IRIS is unique to the railway industry and is an extension of the quality management standard ISO 9001.

    Bureau Veritas Certification is the first global independent certification body to receive IRIS accreditation from UNIFE  
    Bureau Veritas Certification is recognized by more than 30 national and international accreditation bodies worldwide to deliver management system certifications such as quality, health & safety, environment, security and social responsibility, which can be combined with the IRIS certification
