Mechanical testing of rail vehicles
For years, we have been offering comprehensive mechanical testing of rail vehicles, including tests of brake systems and safety devices as well as strength analyses. Once as IPS ‘TABOR’, today – as part of the Centre for Modern Mobility of Łukasiewicz – PIT. We ensure compliance with international standards and precise results that support the safety and technical efficiency of rail transport.
ACCREDITED TESTING
Mechanical testing of rail vehicles – our offer:
We perform checks based on leaflets: UIC 540, UIC 547 and standards: EN 15355, EN 16185-2, EN 16834, PN-K-88177, tram regulations and vehicle technical documentation.
We carry out checks based on the UIC 544-1 leaflet and the EN 16834 standard, as well as the tram regulations.
Checks are carried out on the basis of the PN-K-88177 standard and separate metro regulations.
Tests performed taking into account the following regulations: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014, Commission Regulation (EU) No 321/2013, Standards: PN-EN 13452-2, PN-EN 14033-1, PN-EN 14198, PN-EN 15355, PN-EN 15595, PN-EN 15746-1, PN-EN 16185-2, PN-EN 16834, PN-K-88177, other standards for brake system components built on the tested vehicle, charters: UIC 540, UIC 541-3, UIC 541-4, UIC 541- 5, UIC 541-6, UIC 541-03, UIC 541-05, UIC 543, UIC 544-1, UIC 544-2, UIC 546, other UIC charters for the brake system components built on the test vehicle.
Our research reports are recognised in all signatory countries of the ILAC MRA Multilateral Mutual Recognition Agreement.
