In the railway sector, knowing the standard
is not enough.
You need to understand sector requirements and know how to implement them.
This training prepares participants to understand IRIS / ISO/TS 22163 requirements and apply them in practice within an organisation operating in the railway sector. We combine the standard requirements, sector-specific context and the process approach so that participants not only understand the system structure, but can also translate it into real quality, project and organisational activities.
Why do organisations
need a stronger understanding of IRIS requirements?
The standard is known, but practical application is more difficult
In many organisations, the issue is not access to IRIS requirements, but the lack of ability to translate them into real processes, roles, quality decisions and day-to-day operations in the railway sector.
The railway sector requires more than a general quality approach
Experience with ISO 9001 alone is often not enough when an organisation needs to work within the logic of railway-specific requirements, with their emphasis on quality, safety, project management and reliability.
Specific requirements remain unclear to the team
Topics such as FAI, RAMS or LCC analysis may be familiar by name, but without proper explanation it is difficult to embed them in the management system and everyday organisational practice.
The organisation does not yet have people ready to run the system
Companies preparing for IRIS implementation or further development of the existing system need people who understand not only the standard itself, but also its impact on responsibilities, processes and oversight.
Implementation quickly loses consistency without a shared process language
If the team does not understand the relationship between the standard requirements, process management and project management, the organisation is more likely to drift into inconsistency, excessive formality or superficial actions.
Weak understanding of the requirements costs more than it seems at first
Misinterpretation of the standard, an unprepared team and weak integration of requirements into processes lead to delays, inefficiency, higher implementation risk and lower credibility in the supply chain.
We train in a way
that enables participants to understand and implement
This is not training based only on reviewing the clauses of the standard. We design the programme so that participants understand the logic of IRIS / ISO/TS 22163, can relate the requirements to their own organisation and can prepare the company in a structured way for implementation, maintenance or improvement of the management system in the railway sector. As a result, the training strengthens not only knowledge, but also the organisation’s ability to act effectively in practice.
Training scope
- Requirements and structure of IRIS / ISO/TS 22163
- Assessing quality levels in meeting the requirements
- Sector-specific requirements, including FAI – First Article Inspection
- RAMS analysis: Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety
- LCC analysis – Life Cost Cycle
- Project Management methodology and process management
- Links and differences between ISO/TS 22163 and ISO 9001:2015
What you gain
- Better understanding of the standard: participants learn how to interpret IRIS requirements not only formally, but also in the context of real processes within a railway organisation.
- Readiness to manage the system: the training supports people who perform or will perform the role of IRIS Management Representative, as well as those involved in system implementation.
- Greater awareness of sector-specific requirements: the team gains a better understanding of topics such as FAI, RAMS and LCC, and their importance for quality and safety.
- A stronger process approach: the organisation gains a clearer understanding of how to connect IRIS requirements with process and project management.
- Better implementation readiness: the company gains people who can translate the standard requirements into real organisational actions.
- Confirmation of participation: after the training, each participant receives a certificate of attendance and training materials.
