Welding Railway Vehicles EN 15085-2 Certification services

Railway vehicles EN 15085:2007 - with respect to the railway environment the standard series EN 15085:2007 specifies certification and quality requirements placed on the manufacturers that use welding in connection with the manufacturing of new structures and in connection with repairs. The standard series provides interconnection between output requirements specified for the structure, inevitability to have adequate quality of weldments in the course of the manufacturing process and the subsequent applications of the required types of quality control in production. Welding railway vehicles EN 15085-2: Railway application – welding railway vehicles and their parts - Part 2: Requirements concerning quality and certification of the manufacturer in connection with welding. The series of standards apply to the welding of metal material in connection with the manufacturing and maintenance of railway vehicles and their parts, specify certification levels and requirements concerning manufacturers as regards welding, and describe verification procedures to be used by manufacturers in the welding processes. Necessary classification within EN 15085-2:2007 Kind of product in relation to the certification level - four certification levels (CL) (levels 1 to 4) are specified for certification of the manufacturer. Particular certification leels further specify corresponding classes of weldment execution (CP A - CP D) of welded joints specified in EN 15085-3:2007. Certification levels: - CL 1 - this level applies to the manufacturers that produce welded parts of railway vehicles or their welded parts with welded joints with the class of weldment execution CP A to CP D (certification level Cl 2 and CL 4 is involved). - CL 2 - this level applies to the manufacturers that produce welded parts of railway vehicles with welded joints with the class of weldment execution CP C2 to CP D (welded joints classified with the class of execution CP C1 are involved if these weldme.
