What is EN 15085?

EN 15085 is a European standard for the certification of welding in the railway industry. It specifies the requirements for quality management and control in the welding of railway vehicles and components. The standard applies to the design, manufacture, repair, and maintenance of railway vehicles and components, including both new and existing products. It includes requirements for welding procedures, personnel qualifications, and inspection and testing of welds. The standard is intended to ensure that welded railway products meet the highest quality and safety standards.

What is EN 15085 certification?

EN 15085 certification is a process by which a company demonstrates that it conforms to the requirements of the EN 15085 standard for welding in the railway industry. The certification process is typically carried out by an independent third-party certification body, which will evaluate the company's quality management system, welding procedures, personnel qualifications, and inspection and testing processes.

How To Get EN 15085 certification in India?

To obtain EN 15085 certification, a company must demonstrate that it has implemented and maintains a quality management system that conforms to the requirements of the standard. The company must also have qualified welding personnel and procedures in place and must be able to demonstrate that its welds meet the specified quality requirements through inspection and testing.

Once a company has obtained EN 15085 certification, it will be subject to ongoing surveillance audits to ensure that it continues to conform to the standard. Companies that maintain their certification will be able to demonstrate to customers and regulators that they have the necessary systems and processes in place to consistently produce high-quality, safe railway products.

To obtain EN 15085 certification, a company must go through the following steps:

• Develop a quality management system (QMS) that conforms to the requirements of the EN 15085 standard. This will involve identifying and documenting the company's processes and procedures for designing, manufacturing, repairing, and maintaining railway vehicles and components.
• Train personnel in the requirements of the EN 15085 standard, as well as the company's QMS.
• Establish and qualify welding procedures that conform to the requirements of the standard. This will involve testing the procedures to ensure that they produce welds that meet the specified quality and safety requirements.
• Implement inspection and testing processes to ensure that welds meet the specified quality requirements.
• Contact an independent third-party certification body that is accredited to certify companies to the EN 15085 standard.
• The certification body will conduct an assessment of the company's QMS, procedures, personnel qualifications, and inspection and testing processes.
• If the assessment is successful, the certification body will issue an EN 15085 certificate to the company.
• To maintain the certification, the company will have to go through regular surveillance audits to ensure that it continues to comply with the standard.

It is important to note that the certification process can be time-consuming and require a significant investment of resources, so companies should plan accordingly. It is also important to make sure that the certification body is accredited to certify companies to the EN 15085 standard.
