For the First Time in North America! EN 15085 Railroad Summit and SME Meeting

Businesses within the rail equipment industry understand that competitors all over the world are continuously evaluating the players involved, probing for weaknesses, looking to grab their share of the market.

There are a few key principles to consider in today's global Rail environment. Design planning and execution, fabrication and hence quality excellence, as well as vendor management are among the imperative factors. Regulatory and customer requirements are an integral part of the manufacturers' quality standards, which support achieving objectives for organizational excellence, product safety and reliability.

In 2007, 31 European Nations ratified EN 15085 and associated standards, and thus implemented guidance to address these key principles. This has opened the door for North American manufacturers to get a share of the European rail market and introduced a set of standards any manufacturer can utilize as a high quality roadmap.

Recently ECE Global had the opportunity to support an industry leader with the implementation of EN 15085 as a corporate quality standard. EN 15085 and associated standards supplement and at times supersede current US engineering and fabrication requirements. Adhering to this standard results in enhanced process control, fabrication quality and personnel performance.

Our team of EU certified welding engineers, CWI, stress engineers, ASNT & EN 473 Certified Level II-III inspectors helps US manufacturers explore, implement and achieve standards certification.

Join us and other subject matter experts in Chicago on May 17 & 18 to explore global design, fabrication and quality principles for welding rail equipment.
