We offer expert opinions and expert assessments for vehicles and components.
DB Systemtechnik and its inspection body are recognised by the EBA and the EBC.
As an inspection body, we guarantee, together with our inspectors and experts recognised by the Federal Railway Authority (EBA), that evaluations will be prepared in good time and as required in the context of the relevant national or international approval procedure for technical equipment (vehicles/infrastructure, components, parts). They will also be drafted in the correct formats – as reports (expert opinion, test/audit report or evaluation/inspection report), technical certificates or verifications.
