From test plan to EMC, electrical, climatic and mechanical testing: Analytical supports manufacturers and suppliers in defining and carrying out the qualification process.
Bringing electronic equipment into the railway sector means dealing with different requirements depending on the product, the installation and the contract specifications.
Electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, vibration and shock, climatic conditions and enclosure protection can all contribute to the qualification of the same product. For manufacturers and suppliers, the real need is therefore to identify from the outset which tests are required and how to organize them into a coherent test path.
From the contract specification to the test plan.
There is no single test plan that fits every piece of railway equipment.
The application, installation location, product configuration and customer requirements determine the path to follow. Standards such as EN 50155, EN 50121 and EN 61373 are among the main technical references to consider, depending on the application.
Analytical supports the customer from the preliminary phase, helping them read the specifications, define the test plan and identify the applicable tests.
The goal is to arrive at the laboratory with a well-defined path, avoiding unnecessary activities, unrepresentative configurations or the risk of repeating tests.
Multidisciplinary support for the Rail sector.
Qualification may require different skills and infrastructure. Analytical offers an integrated approach that makes it possible to coordinate the following on the same project:
Â
This way, the customer deals with a single technical contact, from the initial review of the documentation through to test execution.
Do you have equipment to qualify?
If you are developing a new product for railway applications or need to review an existing test plan, we can start from the documentation you have and work together to identify the most suitable test path.
