Quality assurance sits at the heart of safe and reliable rail operations. Based on the internationally recognised ISO 22163 standard, IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) IRIS Certification™ includes specific requirements for the rail industry to help operators improve the quality and reliability of their rolling stock, comply with railway-specific regulations, and meet the demands of suppliers. IRIS Certification™ provides operators with the confidence that they’re meeting the robust criteria set out in ISO 9001 while factoring in the rail-specific elements of ISO 22163.
