At the European Union level the manufacturing and transportation sectors of rail freight wagons are governed by EU Directives that are implemented by the European Commission through the European Railway Agency. The European Railway Agency has been established to provide the EU Member States and the Commission with technical assistance in the fields of railway safety and interoperability. The most important aim of the European Union in the rail field is to set up an integrated European railway area, both legally and technically, by developing and implementing the technical specifications for interoperability and a common approach to questions concerning railway safety.
In light of the quality we want to provide to our customers and these regulations, the IRS manufacturing activities observe the following technical requirements and standards:
