IRIS / ISO/TS 22163, the International Railway Industry Standard (IRIS).
In May 2017, this Standard, which had specially been developed for the rail industry by UNIFE (Association of European Railway Industries) and supplements the ISO 9001 requirements by adding rail specific requirements, became ISO/TS 22163. Together with the IRIS certification rules, this ISO/TS 22163 forms the basis for certification acc. to IRIS Rev. 3.
ISO/TS 22163:2017 Railway applications - Quality management system - Business management system requirements for rail organizations: ISO 9001:2015 and particular requirements for application in the rail sector.
Basically ISO/TS 22163 includes ISO 9001, which has been supplemented and extended by adding many aspects, such as project management, initial sampling (FAI - First Article Inspection), RAMS (Reliability, Accessibility, Maintainability and Safety) or life cycle costs. Among other things, a special focus is put on incorporating the entire supply chain.
