WHAT IS EN 15085 CERTIFICATION? EN 15085 Railway applications — Welding of railway vehicles and components was introduced to harmonise the requirements for welding materials during the manufacture and maintenance of railway vehicles, and builds upon the requirements outlined in ISO 3834 Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials. While the international uptake of this certification has grown in recent years, in Australia there are still very few EN 15085 certified manufacturers. The potential market share that newly EN 15085 certified Australian manufacturers could capture is huge. More and more, EN 15085 certification is gaining interest and attention from government departments and railway industry manufacturers as part of the tender assessment process.
