Rolling stock testing
Independent testing has an important part to play in any
assurance regime and Lloyd's Register Rail has the capability to
carry out this testing for you.
How we can help
- We are able to perform a broad range of tests thanks to our own
measurement services including a measuring laboratory and a
measuring carriage based in the Netherlands.
- We carry out tests to the highest professional standards,
accredited according to EN 17025, aimed at certification.
- We provide certification for manufacturers and owners of
railway equipment, operators and rolling stock maintenance
companies and for infrastructure companies.
What are the benefits?
- Our testing programmes cover all aspects of a train's
functionality.
- Our certificates are valid across international borders.
- With offices throughout Europe and Asia Pacific we are close to
the sites of key rail manufacturers as well as end-user railway
organisations - allowing access at all stages of vehicle
development.
Recent projects
- Numerous tests to verify that all the systems present on the
Betuweroute - a 160 km, double-track freight rail line stretching
from the port of Rotterdam to the German border at
Zevenaar-Emmerich - function reliably. The testing and verification
process resulted in incremental improvements to the
Betuweroute.
- German supplier FTD -Fahrzeugtechnik Dessau AG - approached us
for certification of new Protos train sets for the Netherlands,
commencement of operations and dynamic testing. We carried out the
certification, including brake and running gear tests, as well as
noise tests and tests of the pantograph.
