Accreditations

We hold two accreditations with the Norwegian Accreditation body to operate in the inner market of EU and the European Economic Area (EEA).

We are accredited as a certification body meeting leading requirements (EN ISO/IEC 17065). We can support you in all structural railway subsystems (as defined by the Interoperability Directive):

• infrastructure
• energy
• rolling stock
• trackside control-command and signalling
• on-board control-command and signalling.

Our accreditation is based on Directive (EU) 2016/797, the Interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (IOD), and the ERA document MNB – Assessment scheme, 000MRA1044. More here: akkreditert.no/en/

We are accredited as an inspection body type A, meeting leading requirements (EN ISO/IEC 17020). Our accreditation includes all five subsystems listed above for NoBo, as well as traffic operation and management, maintenance, and system safe integration.

The accreditation covers the normative document Regulation (EU) No 402/2013 on the common safety method for risk evaluation and assessment, as amended in Regulation (EU) 2015/1136. More here: akkreditert.no/en/

We are appointed Designated Body (DeBo) by the Norwegian Railway Authority (NRA) in Norway. As DeBo in Norway for infrastructure and rolling stock, we ensure compliance with nation technical rules in Norway.

We are registered in ERADIS – European Railway Agency Database of Interoperability and Safety, as an accredited Assessment Body (AsBo) from Norway. With this registration Vysus Group can operate as AsBo in the inner market of EU and the European Economic Area (EEA).

ISA?

In Scandinavia there are no requirements for an ISA to be accredited. The basic criteria for our ISA service is normally the CENELEC EN50126, EN5018 and EN50129 standards (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety, RAMS standards), against which the safety engineering of railway products and systems are assessed.
