Safely on track – with TÜV AUSTRIA Group
Be on track with the independent TÜV AUSTRIA, a leading international testing, inspection, certification and education services provider, and your accredited and notified railway systems expert.
Before you embark on your TÜV AUSTRIA journey to safety and security, here are a few of the stops you will be visiting: as an EN ISO/IEC accredited testing laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025 T, ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17065), TÜV AUSTRIA covers infrastructure components, vehicle components, overhead lines, bogie tests, damping systems and sleepers.
TÜV AUSTRIA is also certified in accordance with the European standard EN 13816 for service quality in public passenger transport. TÜV AUSTRIA is your Conformity Assessment Body (NoBo, DeBo, AsBo and OC-ECM), your evaluation (Independent Safety Assessment) and inspection (systems, products, components, etc.) body.
Founded in 1872, TÜV AUSTRIA today blends digitalization processes with engineering solutions, introducing RISE to the railway sector for remotely monitored infrastructural integrity.
Now all aboard the “TÜV AUSTRIA 1872” to railway safety and security.

Structural health monitoring as a service
RISE is a unique system solution for structural
health monitoring of hot spots / fatigue cracks. It
is a stand-alone system solution for structural health
monitoring based on acoustic emission technology.
The system is specifically designed for monitoring
due to its compact design, low power consumption
and simple installation.
This service includes the initial connection of the
RISE system to the Tami web platform for each
deployment, regular monitoring of results by TÜV
AUSTRIA experts – particularly during the phases
between calibration and the traffic light phases – the
evaluation of special events and the preparation of
detailed reports.
