Rail systems

DEKRA Industrial guarantees independence thanks to its organisational structure, its long experience of third-party inspections and its well-established routines. Each assignment is staffed by experts who have extensive experience of the technical systems in the respective rail system.

It all adds up to make us a partner you can rely on when it comes to achieving your aim of “an approved subsystem”.

DEKRA Industrial AB has been appointed by the Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment (SWEDAC) as a notified body in Sweden and the EEA.

DEKRA is a notified body under the Railway Regulations

For the conventional rail system in the subsystems:

• control command and signalling

For high-speed lines and high-speed trains in the subsystems:

• infrastructure
• energy supply
• control command and signalling

Certificate of Conformity

Before infrastructure or technical systems can be taken into operation, approval must be obtained based on the “Certificate of Conformity” issued by DEKRA. Once this certificate has been issued it is then possible to draw up the EC Declaration of Verification for presentation to the relevant rail authority.

The purpose of the approval is twofold: to ensure that the different subsystems can be used together without any risk of damage or accidents, and to guarantee that the subsystems comply with the relevant safety requirements in the applicable railway laws and statutes.
