The second part of this catalogue describes our tests related to measurements and investigations. These tests may be essential to ensure the safety, performance, comfort and availability of your equipment or railway facilities both for your employees and agents and for the users of the rail network. To help you find the tests you are looking for, this second part is organized according to technical speciality: • Mechanical • Physico-chemical • Electrical • Acoustical • Health, Safe  

Rolling stock type approval is a complex process. Our experts have a vital role to play, not just in performing the requisite tests but also in overseeing all the stages in the process of type approval.

During the design phase of railway infrastructures, equipment and rolling stock, or during the qualification process, tests and measurements are essential to evaluate mechanical characteristics of the products and equipment.

In order to put in service your infrastructures or your rolling stock in France as well as in Europe, the proof or their compliance to the current standards must be given. We benefit from the necessary skills for the complex process of a type approval. Our expertise is an added value for the success of your project.

We are in the fortunate position of being able to marshall exceptional test resources such as high-speed trainsets, track geometry recording cars, ballasted trainsets, etc.  and therefore able to cater to even the most demanding requirements.

Electrical tests and measurements aim to validate the electrical compliance of rolling stock, infrastructure and railway equipment or sub-systems to applicable standards. These tests are conducted on a test rig or on sites according to the needs and issues.

The tests conducted by Eurailtest relate to measurements and investigations. Ensuring the safety, performance, comfort and availability of your rolling stock or railway installations is a matter of vital importance.

These measurments allow to qualify the physico-chemical characteristics if needed, or validate the compatibility with an other object.

Our laboratories use their knowledge of the heavy and urban light rail environments to offer you risk management and hygiene and safety-related services.

Acoustic is an important matter in the railway sector. The reduction of noise caused by rail transport is an important issue for transport operator. Noise pollution can affect the surrounding environment as well as the inside of trains.

Health, safety and environment are at the heart of the concerns when it comes to workplaces and places accessible to the public.
