Accreditation under EN 17460 (formerly DIN 6701) promotes excellence and quality in the construction, mobility, and railway sectors

The adhesive bonds on railway vehicles, parts, and components are classified based on the safety requirements determined by the manufacturer related to the possible consequences of bond failure. The manufacturer must provide sufficient qualified personnel to apply, supervise, and inspect adhesive bonds.

Standard EN 17460 sets the highest standards on railway component manufacture and maintenance. It establishes strict criteria for railway adhesion, and as such, accreditation to this standard ensures the structural integrity and safety of components used in trains and railway systems.
