EN 15085 - Welding of railway vehicles and components

A3CERT är först i Norden med att bli ackrediterade för EN 15085-2:2020. The transition to the new standard will take place continuously.

EN 15085-2 is now available in a new edition: EN 15085-2:2020.

A3CERT is approved as a certification body according to the “German List” ECWRV ONLINE REGISTER EN 15085
(European Comittee for Welding of Railway Vehichles)

There are four different levels you can be certified against:

CL1: Comprehensive requirements (eg brakes, boogies)
CL2: Normal requirements
CL3:Elementary requirements
CL4: Designers without their own production

The standard is called EN 15085, which means that it is a European standard, where EN stands for the European Norm. ISO 15085 is not available as it has not been approved by International Standardization Organization – ISO.

A3CERT is accredited by SWEDAC to perform certifications against the standard EN 15085-2: 2007 – Welding of Railway Vehicles and Components.

The standard describes and demonstrates a manufacturer’s competence for control of welding quality in production of railway vehicles. The requirements refer a lot to the standard ISO 3834.
