TEST ORGANIZATION

AEbt CERTIFER and our teams in Belgium organise and coordinate differents tests, mainly to ensure compatibility between rolling stock (or a constituant) and the railway infrastructure. 

Germany and Belgium conduct track tests thanks to direct access to the Belgian (INFRABEL), Luxembourgian (CFL-GI), German, Austrian and Swiss rail networks. In other countries, we rely on local partners.

A TURNKEY SOLUTION FROM ASSESSMENT TO COMMISSIONING

To obtain the Authorization for Placing Into Service (APIS), several tests have to be performed in order to validate the nominal operation of the subsystem under real conditions and in interaction with the other subsystems.

Due to multidimensional impacts on human, organizational and technical aspects, the testing activity has to rely on a rigorous organization.

Germany and Belgium offer a turnkey solution from the assessment, through the test organization to the obtaining of the commissioning authorization. In the framework of the test organization, we provide :

• The test campaign (planning, support for the definition of the test programme, constitution of the test teams, reservations of access to the installations and overall coodination).
  
  
• Attends it (supervision during the test campaign, supply and coordination of the test teams, execution of some tests and analysis with the advice of experts in real time)
  
  
• Formalises the documents required for obtaining the APIS
