The constantly expanding modern rail transport system relies heavily on electric traction. With demand rising exponentially, new rolling stock is entering service all the time. Meanwhile, the number of train movements is increasing steeply, stretching network capacity to the limit. If the appropriate safety and reliability standards are to be met, it is necessary to make optimal use of equipment and systems. 

European legislation has a major influence on the railway industry. Products ad processes have to meet ever-higher requirements and also have to be tested and certificated. KEMA by means of KEMA Rail Transport Certification will be pleased to assist you in this processes, both during preparation and execution.

One thing is clear: It’s impossible to imagine rail transport today without a safe, reliable, tested and certificated electrical (traction) system.

As a knowledge intensive supplier of consulting services but also of testing and certification services, KEMA played a significant role in the realization of the present infrastructure in the Netherlands.
