Help with EN 15085 requirements
Has a customer or contract asked you to meet EN 15085 requirements? PWC supports rail suppliers Australia-wide with welding for railway vehicles and components. Send us the request so we can discuss the support you need.
What is EN 15085?
Welding in the production of railway vehicles is an important process for the safety of public transport. EN 15085 sets quality criteria so that the basic welding requirements are met. EN 15085-2 certification covers the requirements for welding personnel in the production of railway vehicles, components and sub-assemblies, whenever manufacturers, tenders or contracts ask for it.
Start with what your customer needs
Share the relevant part of the tender, contract or customer request. Include your deadline and any records you already have.
Build on what is already in place
The starting point is your current work and records. From there, we can discuss the gaps, the help needed and the tasks your business will handle.
Review
We review your customer's welding requirements, staff qualifications and welding records, and explain which parts need more work.
Documentation
We help prepare the agreed welding documents and staff records, and explain who keeps them up to date.
Preparation
Before the assessment, we review the agreed preparation tasks with you and work through outstanding questions.
Be clear about the work and the certificate
Before starting, agree on who does each task and what documents will be delivered. If certification is required, the organisation responsible for assessing and issuing it must also be clear.
Know who does each part
Our role is to review the business, help prepare the agreed documents and support your staff through the preparation work. Your business puts the agreed processes into practice and keeps the records.
PWC prepares your business for the audit; we don't certify it. The audit and certificate are handled by an independent certification body. Our quote explains our role and any work or fees handled separately.
