YOUR CONNECTION FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY
TÜV SÜD is your partner when it comes to testing, inspection, certification, training and advisory services along all phases of a railway project – from risk assessment, design, manufacture, installation, integration to operation and maintenance. Our competencies in conventional, high-speed, metro, and light rail are backed by many years of experience working on international rail projects with railway authorities, operators, system integrators and other important stakeholders worldwide. Our multidisciplinary rail experts understand the increasing complexity of the modern rail technologies and systems, focusing on the risks resulting from the integration of all the subsystems into a complete railway system that need to be put in safe operation.
We offer you world-class services based on holistic approach, best practices and profound knowledge. Find out more about some of our global reference projects in the rail industry:
Complete railway systems need a comprehensive understanding of all subsystems such as infrastructure, rolling stock, signalling, energy, auxiliary subsystems as well as operational and maintenance expertise to address the different challenges of our target clients like rail subsystem suppliers, system integrators, operators but also authorities and infrastructure managers.
Around the world, our TÜV SÜD rail experts support our clients in their challenges to have safe rail systems. They strive to verify that relevant technical and operational risks have been mitigated to an acceptable level. Moreover, they assess if the integrated complete railway system has been proven to fulfill the defined safety requirements and that the complete railway system and its subsystems are compliant with safety requirements and global railway standards.
Finally, our proven services are based on fifty years of experience in the sector, but we are already looking to the future by supporting our customers also with new technologies and topics such as cybersecurity and hydrogen.
We support manufacturers of railway rolling stock, control, command and signalling systems, power supply and infrastructure components in ensuring that their products comply with relevant regulations and standards. We understand the challenges and complexities associated with the latest rail market trends and modern technology.
For manufacturers of railway systems and components, we offer the following specific services:
We support system integrators to ensure that the rail systems, trains and infrastructure, delivers a resilient operational railway meeting customer requirements. We partner with you in solving the challenge to integrate new rail technologies into legacy systems.
For system integrators we offer the following services:
We support cross-border, regional and urban railway operators and infrastructure managers in ensuring that their systems - both independently and as part of a larger system - operate in a safe, reliable and efficient manner with minimised risk, especially when new rail technologies are integrated into legacy systems. For operators this includes the maintenance of passenger and freight trains and systems to collect fares, manage passengers, and handle goods.
For passenger and freight rail operators and infrastructure managers we offer the following services:
We support railway authorities, who are in charge of implementing regulations and issuing final operation permits in ensuring safety and maintenance and initiate whole railway projects. This includes supervisory, licensing and safety authorities.
For railway safety authorities we offer the following services:
