RAILWAY & MOBILITY CERTIFICATION
Certification of rail and mobility equipment plays a valuable role in a fast-evolving sector.
Navigating a transforming railway and mobility landscape
Rail transport continues to evolve, as infrastructure modernization and network expansion reshape long-distance and regional rail, and high-speed and conventional networks become increasingly complex and interconnected systems.
At the same time, urban mobility systems, such as metros and trams, are growing to meet new demands. Across all mobility systems, advances in automation, digitalization, advanced signaling and data-driven systems are redefining networks.
This ongoing transformation has direct implications for stakeholders across the full rail and mobility chain. Certification now extends beyond physical components to include digital technologies and software, from train command-and-control systems and platform screen doors to embedded systems, cybersecurity protections and autonomous functionalities.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do railway and mobility projects need ISA?
Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) ensures that a new or modified system is specified and implemented correctly, and that it upholds its safety function.
ISA acts as an independent entity for the project and safety engineering team, attesting to the correct management of safety risks.

What is Communications-Based Train Control?
Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) is an emerging signaling technology that increases network efficiency and interoperability.
Together with other emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles and AI-driven maintenance systems, CBTC opens the door to an increasingly interconnected and intelligent railway and mobility sector. -
What is Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety in rail?
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) refers to operational safety. It is essential to guaranteeing the performance and safety of industrial systems, ensuring that equipment and processes operate reliably, are available when required, and are safe for users and the environment.
Manufacturers and operators in the railway and mobility sector have to meet RAMS requirements in compliance with international regulations and standards.
