Site Surveys & Testing

We are an accredited test laboratory for testing both at permanent premises and in-situ.

Laboratory and On-Site Capabilities

Our facilities have been designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of test standards including EN 50121 series of EMC standards, RIA 12, 13 and 20, EN 50155 and EN 61373. The data obtained from testing will provide the basis for demonstrating compliance, qualification and certification to the levels required by EU legislation, regulations and industry standards.

TÜV SÜD’s EMC and Environmental test chambers and vibration test machines are capable of accommodating large-scale sub-assemblies, signalling equipment and platform information systems.

Our comprehensive range of Environmental (Climatic & Mechanical) test facilities includes:

• Climatic
• Vibration
• Shock
• Packaging Performance
• Ingress Protection

In-Situ Testing

In cases where logistics are an issue, large and/or complex equipment can be is tested in-situ either at the manufacturer’s premises or the final point of installation. In China, we did EMC testing for CSR Qingdao Sifang. Typical equipment, which we can test, includes:

• Climatic
• Railway rolling stock
• Power supply, substations and switchgear
• Railway signalling and trackside equipment
• Road\Rail Vehicles (RRVs)
• Equipment Rooms
  
  

Our in-situ engineers are well versed in performing whole vehicle emissions measurements as required by EN 50121-3-1 to determine if new or refurbished trains comply with rail specification requirements.
