The Basic Contract

Approval of Rolling Stock

The validation and certification of rolling stock is often an essential regulatory step for any railway (re) commissioning project. Faced with ever more complex European and national regulations, operators and manufacturers must demonstrate the conformity, safety and interoperability of their equipment.

‍

The authorization process

Our teams perfectly master the authorization process and support you until you obtain the CE certificate for your rolling stock. In particular, this involves:

Active regulatory monitoring to identify applicable texts and standards (STI, NRD, standards, laws, etc.)
A precise analysis of the significance of the changes and their impact on the rail system
Conducting MSC Risk Analyses and Defining a Coherent Admission Strategy
The constitution of complete technical files: conformity matrices, design proofs, test plans, etc.
The coordination of independent evaluators and the management of exchanges with the competent authorities (ERA, ANS, STRMTG)

The validation and certification plan

Whether for a new rolling stock project, or as part of a modification of an existing machine, MASTERIS helps you to establish a complete validation and certification plan, which will identify the proofs of calculations and tests to be carried out during the project

Your single point of contact

MASTERIS relies on the resources of SNCF Voyageurs and its network of partners

With MASTERIS, you benefit from a single interlocutor capable of mobilizing all the expertise, services and resources of the SNCF group as well as a national and international network of other partners, to offer complete, efficient solutions adapted to your needs.

Hardware engineering at SNCF is

2,200 experts spread over 17 centers across France
182 experts from the Synapse network (network of SNCF scientific and technical experts)
15 patents filed on average per year

In France, the SNCF group counts on:

10 technical center
5 engineering clusters

In Dakar, we are far from major European rail networks, so in the event of incidents it is important to be able to react quickly and independently. This is why it was important to improve the skills of the teams in lifting our Coradia machines and our work trains. MASTERIS was able to respond quickly and effectively to our expectations.

Within Hexafret, regulatory monitoring already exists on which ECE relies. However, it proved necessary to complete this monitoring in order to cover all the countries in which Hexafret operates, in particular Germany, Spain and Italy. Hexafret therefore turned to MASTERIS in 2024 to provide this service.

After a first year of collaboration, Hexafret satisfied with both the content and the contractual relationship, extended the regulatory monitoring contract in 2025. We appreciate its synthetic side.
