Testing for Railway Technology and Infrastructure

Reliable Validation for Rail Applications

Railway components and infrastructure systems must operate safely and reliably under demanding environmental, mechanical, and electromagnetic conditions. At Testlab, we provide accredited testing in accordance with applicable railway standards and regulatory requirements.

As an experienced partner for rail manufacturers and system integrators, we support projects from development and type testing through to approval and market entry — ensuring compliance with national and international railway authorities.

Precision testing. Regulatory confidence. Railway-grade reliability.
