IRIS is the
internationally recognized standard for the railway industry. It complements
ISO 9001 and is similar to
the quality management system standards for aerospace, automotive and food service
industries. Major rail equipment customers including Alstom Transport,
AnsaldoBreda, Siemens Transportation and Bombardier Transportation of North America
and Europe recognize IRIS certification.
Railways require "ready to run" transportation systems that meet the various requirements
of operators along the main intercontinental routes and comply with industry regulations.
Railway operators require facilities and equipment that meet the stringent quality standards
required for safe and reliable daily use.
IRIS benefits customers and suppliers.
- As transparent requirements are accepted and applied by all parties, quality
increases across the entire supply chain.
- Increasing efficiency of evaluation and approval of equipment manufacturers
leaves more time for value adding work.
- Decreasing manufacturing and supply costs benefits all stakeholders.
- Improving quality and accessibility of data allows stakeholders to make
better informed decisions.

industry. We offer IRIS
training in combination with our RABQSA certified and IRCA recognized ISO 9001 Lead Auditor
