Mission of CERTIFER

Certifer carries out an OQA (Organisme Qualifié Agréé) mission in the following disciplines

Global System

• Organizational, methodological and technical aspects contributing to the safe development of the system,
• Methodology adopted for the identification of external, natural and technological risks,
• Interfaces between the different subsystems.

Rolling Stock, including Rolling Stock and Infrastructure Maintenance Vehicles (VMI)

• Body - Bearing - guidance,
• Traction - braking,
• On-board electrical safety systems.

Infrastructure

• Civil Engineering - Solidity;
• Civil engineering - Fire safety, evacuation and emergency response;
• Equipment - Fire safety, evacuation and implementation of emergency services;
• Platform, tracks and turnouts ;
• Strength of platform facades (METRO)

Energy, including electrical traction energy in the following aspects:

• Electrical safety ;
• Mechanical strength.

Control-Command and Signalling including :

• Command and control;
• Railway signalling.
• Control system for the opening of landing doors (METRO)

Operational subsystems:

• Processing of safety requirements identified during the development of the system and exported to operations and maintenance

As well as the evaluation of the measures to be taken to ensure, in safety, the automatic driving of trains on the maintenance sites (SMR), with respect to the personnel and the other trains or Infrastructure Maintenance Vehicles (VMI ).
