Relevance
Commissioning and type testing at Enotrac serve to ensure that rail technology systems and vehicles meet the highest standards and function optimally. These processes are crucial to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of rail systems. These tests serve several important purposes.
Commissioning and type testing ensures that all components, subsystems and vehicles are checked for safety-related aspects. This includes ensuring electrical safety, the functioning of protective mechanisms and the testing of safety-critical systems. The tests ensure that the quality of the manufactured components and vehicles meets the specified standards. This includes checking workmanship, electrical performance and other quality-related characteristics. Enotrac ensures that all tests comply with the applicable standards and regulations. In particular, EN50215 is an important basis for ensuring that the rail systems meet all the necessary technical requirements. The detailed test specification and the analysis of the results provide customers with valuable insights into the performance of their rail systems. This makes it possible to identify any weak points, make adjustments and continuously optimise the systems. Successful commissioning and type testing is often a requirement for obtaining regulatory approvals. Enotrac supports customers in providing all the necessary evidence to approve the operation of rail systems.
Overall, commissioning and type testing at Enotrac serve as crucial steps to ensure the quality, safety and effectiveness of rail systems and to enable smooth operation.
Quality Assurance through Type Testing
At Enotrac, type testing is the term used to describe special tests that serve to ensure the conformity of a prototype, a single device, a system, or an entire vehicle. The purpose of these tests is to verify that the design fully complies with the required specifications and relevant standards.
Enotrac carries out type testing to ensure that the developed or modified railway systems meet the highest quality and safety standards. These tests are necessary to ensure that a prototype or sample component meets the technical requirements. This must be verified before the prototype goes into series production or enters regular service.
Enotrac’s type testing services include a comprehensive examination of various aspects, such as functional, structural and qualitative characteristics. In this way, our Enotrac experts not only ensure that the tested equipment is functioning properly, but also that it meets the relevant standards. This is how we ensure the highest levels of safety and efficiency in rail operations.
We place particular emphasis on type testing as an integral part of the testing process, which includes planning, coordination and execution of commissioning and further testing. By conducting type tests accurately and in detail, we can ensure that the solutions we develop meet the strictest requirements and exceed customer expectations.
Professional planning, coordination and execution of rail systems
To successfully implement railway systems, precise planning, careful coordination and professional execution of commissioning is required. Not to be forgotten is the execution or support of type tests, which is also an essential aspect. In this area, our Enotrac experts demonstrate their expertise by focusing on the needs of our customers and relying on detailed test plan preparation with the utmost accuracy.
Meticulous planning and expertise
Enotrac ensures that the implemented project receives all the necessary approvals from the relevant authorities by means of meticulous planning and expert support during the commissioning process. Our comprehensive expertise in the field of measurements, safety cases and conformity assessments enables our experts to provide all the necessary evidence in a precise and standard-compliant manner.
Organisation and support of commissioning and type testing
Enotrac organises and supports the commissioning and type testing of components, sub-systems, and vehicles. Our flexible approach allows us to adapt to our customers’ requirements. Whether you choose us to carry out the work independently or to support you, our experienced team will ensure efficient implementation.
Experts in the testing of rail vehicles
Enotrac has built a strong reputation for excellence, particularly in the field of testing rail vehicles after completion and before their official commissioning in accordance with the strict requirements of EN50215. This is a key aspect of our work, and our Enotrac experts demonstrate their expertise by defining the highest standards and ensuring that all relevant regulations are meticulously adhered to.
The expertise and competence of the Enotrac team extends to all aspects of this testing process. Our experts strictly adhere to the EN50215 standard, which provides specific guidelines for testing railway vehicles before they are put into service. Enotrac’s goal is to fully comply with technical and safety requirements and to meet the highest quality standards.
This expertise in the testing of rail vehicles is a major reason why Enotrac is considered a reliable partner in the rail technology industry. Customers can be confident that their rail vehicles will be thoroughly tested in accordance with the highest quality guidelines before they are put into service, ensuring smooth and safe operation. Enotrac thus not only sets standards in testing technology, but also in ensuring the safety of rail systems.
Testing process for rail vehicles
Enotrac’s testing of rail vehicles is a comprehensive process that ensures that the manufactured rail vehicles meet the highest quality standards and the applicable standards, in particular EN50215. A distinction is made between type testing and series testing, which check different aspects of the rail vehicles. Type testing refers to the inspection of individual devices, systems, or the entire vehicle. The aim is to ensure that the design meets the required specifications and standards. Both test categories, type and series testing, are subdivided into static and dynamic tests. Static tests can be carried out while the vehicle is stationary and relate to factors that can be verified without moving the vehicle. Dynamic tests, on the other hand, relate to tests that are carried out while the vehicle is actually moving.
We customise the scope of testing for each railway vehicle. This means that our tests are tailored to the characteristics and requirements of each vehicle. This individualised approach allows our experts to ensure that all relevant aspects and components of the vehicle are carefully checked. All the tests to be carried out are recorded in a detailed test specification. This includes the exact procedure, functions to be tested, test conditions, description of the implementation, test equipment to be used, pass/fail criteria, limits and tolerances for all test measurement procedures, and the load conditions of the test object for each test. The results of all tests carried out are documented in a test report. This report contains all the details from the test specification and presents any deviations and anomalies.
Detailed Test Specification
Our diligence and precision is particularly evident in the creation of detailed test specifications. These include not only the planned test steps, but also all details, including process plans, functions to be tested and test conditions. This comprehensive documentation serves both to ensure that the tests are carried out smoothly and to provide a basis for further analysis and optimisation.
Test Report
The Enotrac test report is much more than a mere summary of results. It presents the comprehensive result of all tests carried out and meticulously documents every detail. The comprehensiveness of the report serves to verify compliance with all requirements and to provide important insights for future optimisations.
