Expert conference ensures quality stays on track

Every day, millions of people use rail vehicles such as subway trains, tramways, overland trains, or high-speed trains. Quality therefore plays an essential role in manufacturing and must be ensured across the entire (usually international) supply chain. All companies that construct, manufacture parts for, or perform maintenance work on rolling stock require a certification based on EN 15085 in Europe. “We meet regularly in order to maintain a uniform level of quality in this certification across the 30 European certification bodies in 14 countries and to apply the standard in a transparent and harmonized way,” explains Professor Steffen Keitel, Managing Director of SLV Halle GmbH. “We are delighted to be able to meet this time here in Wels, in the heart of Europe,” he continues.
