SIGNALLING AND TELECOMMUNICATION LABORATORY
Signalling and Telecommunications Laboratory (IK) accredited since 2000, is based on the management system complies with the standard of BS EN ISO / IEC 17025:2005 and has Accreditation Certificate No. AB 310 of the PCA. The aim of the policy, ensuring a high quality level of research undertaken and the satisfaction of the requirements and expectations of our customers.
Signalling and Telecommunications Laboratory performs laboratory tests, field and operational interlocking rail system and high-speed telecommunications and radio communication devices and selected electrical and electronic appliances rail vehicles.
We deal so that accidental development expertise, technical reviews products for compliance with the requirements of the country standards and regulations, and issue opinions so that the operating systems and signalling devices.
- we test for product certification,
- confirmation of conformity with national standards, international or other requirements,
- technical issues opinions needed to obtain a certificate of release to service.
