Safety Certificates

With the two components of the so-called fourth railway package of

• Regulation (EU) 2016/796 on the Railway Agency of the European Union and
• Directive (EU) 2016/798 of 11 May 2016 on railway safety

the approval procedures and safety regulations in the member states of the European Union have been centralized. Safety certificates must now be requested at the European Railway Agency (ERA). However, the national safety authorities (NSAs) continue to play a crucial role in the test procedures.

We advise and support to file your application for safety certificates at the European Railway Agency and subsequently in the test procedures at the national safety authorities until a new, changed or extended safety certificates is issued.
