Services - ERTMS ACCREDITED LABS

ERTMS Accredited Services

Subset-076, Subset-094: EVC functional tests for the onboard unit (EVC), in conformity with the Subset-094 test environment and required for certification of conformity as defined in Subset-026.

Subset-085: Eurobalise and BTM interoperability tests. These tests are verifications required for certification of conformity and suitability for use of Eurobalise/BTM data transmission defined in Subset-036.

Subset-103: Euroloop tests required for certification of conformity and suitability for use for all the Euroloop Subsystem data transmission products, as specified in Subset-044.

Subset-116: Eurobalise on-board equipment susceptibility tests for verification of compliance with the mandatory requirements of Subset-036.

Subset- RBC^®: Industrial RBC equipment tests to validate RBC against Subset-026 and Subset-039 applying for the RBC the same methodology as Subset-076 for the on-board equipment.

Subset- ESC^®: ETCS system level tests to validate interoperability and compatibility relating to control-command and signalling on-board and trackside subsystems.

Subset- KMC^®: Onboard-KMC tests for testing the on-board exchanges with KMC according to Subset-137.

Additional Services

Besides the Accredited Services mentioned above, EAL members also develop other sets of tests, following the same design principles that resulted in the accredited services above. They include tests for track side equipment (including Interlocking, LEU, RBC), STM.

They also perform other tests at system level, combining onboard and trackside ERTMS components and being an excellent and necessary tool to execute at lab the tests defined in the 2016/919 EU CCS TSI (amended by EU 2019/776): Operational Test Scenarios for Placing in Service new lines and ESC (ETCS System Compatibility) Tests for assuring the interoperability of new trains entering in a line in operation. These tests open the possibility of making real the statement included in article 10 of this TSI: “…. The possibility of executing those checks in a laboratory representing the trackside configuration to be made available by the Infrastructure Manager should be prioritized”
