EC Certification of CCS Constituents and Sub-systems from Lab tests to ISA to NoBo and their applications in Europe and Asia

24 Sep 2020

signalling-railway-innotransIn the European Legislation there are several actors devoted to assessing, at different levels, the work carried out by the manufacturers of railway industry. ISA, DeBo, NoBo, AsBo and Independent Laboratories act, following different norms and laws, to obtain a common goal: the interoperability of the railway system within the Community. Interoperability includes Safety, Technical Compatibility, etc. and this is the rational that has required the definition of all the different independent Bodies. However, it’s quite common to see a single Company acting as ISA, NoBo, AsBo and DeBo whereas is not so common to see the same Company acting also as Independent Laboratory.

During this webinar, we will try to focus on the reasons that has brought at this separation and what are the advantages and drawbacks of having the same Company acting as Independent Laboratory and Assessment Body.

Another goal of the webinar is to analyse the differences between the Asian market and the European one. What is considered a value outside Europe? And what are the main requests from a impressing growing railway system as the Chinese one? And what about the assessment of the Rolling Stock in Asia?

At the end of the webinar the aim is to provide the audience with a picture of two sides of the World that are different but share a lot of communalities. The final goal is to show that often there is more than one road to reach the same final destination. Join us to learn more.
