Online-Event IRQB Quality Monthly: Advancing Quality in Rail Transportation & ISO 9001 Preview

As rail systems become more connected, complex, and safety-critical, quality has never been more important. How can the railway industry ensure excellence across global supply chains, and what role does certification play in strengthening trust, reliability, and performance? 

Join us as we explore how IRIS Certification and IRQB contribute to advancing quality in rail transportation. We will also provide an early preview of ISO 9001, including the expected timeline and first key insights, complemented by the IRQB perspective on the upcoming developments.

We are looking forward to your participation!
