This standard specifies the requirements for a railway quality management system, building on some of the principles set out in ISO 9001:2015. Obviously, this is specific to companies who operate within the railway industry.
ISO 22163 differs slightly from ISO 9001 as it focuses specifically on:
- Compliance with international railway standards and regulations.
- Requirements for managing railway-specific risks.
- Management of suppliers, especially for products that must meet strict safety and performance standards for the railway industry.
- Product lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to delivery and maintenance, ensuring products and services are safe and reliable within the context of rail operations.
Benefits of ISO 22163:
- Actively advertise your company’s commitment to quality, customer requirements and continual improvement by demonstrating and verifying your compliance to the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. This is a key criterion in convincing potential clients to utilise you.
- Improve safety of your products; this is of heightened concern in the railway industry.
- Efficient Process Management.
- Reduction in risk.
- More effective management as less time is wasted.
- More prospects realised where the opening of doors is restricted to ISO 22163:2013 certified suppliers – a common scenario in the railway industry.
