Assessment of safety-relevant systems and components
- Assessment
PT1 Planning documents (§60) for LST systems in the area of BOStrab, NE railroads, subway railroads, light railways/tramways, suspension railroads
Performance of Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) (§61) at system manufacturers in conjunction with a §62 test of LST systems in the area of BOStrab, NE railroads, subway railroads, light railways/tramways, suspension railroads
Commissioning approval (§62) Acceptance of LST systems in the area of BOStrab, NE railroads, light railroads, suspension railroads
Assessment of the migration of WIN 10 for operating and display systems (system manufacturer Siemens)
Assessment of vehicle and track-side components in the field of BOStrab, NE railroads, light railroads, suspension railroads
Assessment of SIMATIC S7 Sil3/Sil4 on the basis of a safety certificate from the system manufacturer
Training and further training of inspection experts in the BOStrab area (PT1/PT2 plan inspectors, acceptance inspectors) -> Support and training of new experts for LST systems
Configuration data check
- Verification of the system-specific configuration of railroad infrastructure systems
- INA planning (inductive safeguarding of approaching trains)
- Preparation of test reports
Assessment of signalling (sub)systems according to CENELEC standards
Assessment of signaling (sub-)systems for local rail transport systems and industrial railroads according to CENELEC standards (DIN EN 50126; DIN EN 50128; DIN EN 50129) and legal bases (e.g. BOStrab). The following aspects are considered here:
- Proof of the intended use of the control and safety technology as a result of the correct application-specific configuration (project planning)
- Proof that the control and safety technology was functioning correctly at the time of the assessment
- Testing of safety-related application rules for control and safety technology with regard to operation and maintenance
- Inspection of safety certificates for control and safety technology
OT-Security
Testing, inspection and auditing of OT security for various industries
- Railroad applications in accordance with CLC/TS 50701, taking IEC 62443 into account
- Automotive applications according to IEC 21434
- Industrial applications in accordance with IEC 62443, IEC TS 63069 and IEC TS 63074
Functional safety
Testing, inspection and auditing of functional safety (management, hardware and software)
- for safety components (sensors, controllers and actuators) under the Machinery Directive / Machinery Ordinance in accordance with IEC 61508, IEC 62061 and ISO 13849
- for machines according to ISO 13849
- for the process industry according to IEC 61511
- for measuring, control and regulation equipment as part of explosion protection measures in accordance with TRGS 725
