We support companies in the railway industry by offering them the opportunity to carry out specific tests for applications such as high speed, passenger seats and adhesives used in trains.
In the context of high-speed trains, it is essential that all components are designed to withstand high stresses and ensure optimal performance. Pontlab offers testing services to evaluate the structural integrity and strength of the materials used in these vehicles.
Our tests include fatigue testing, industrial tomography, static testing, and 3D laser scanning to ensure that components can operate under extreme conditions without compromising safety.
We comply with international standards such as EN 12663 and EN 15227.
The ease of creating even complex graphics with the application of adhesive solutions has found widespread use in the railway sector.
Adhesives used in railway structures must comply with strict technical specifications, fundamentally guaranteeing long-lasting adhesion and resistance to different environmental conditions, maintaining their aesthetic, performance and functional characteristics over time and contributing to the safety and structural integrity of railway vehicles.
Pontlab offers tests to assess the adhesive strength, ageing resistance and compatibility of materials.
Our procedures comply with EN 45545-2 and ISO 4587 standards.
Passenger seats must offer comfort and safety, complying with strict quality standards. Ergonomic analysis, geometric verification and quality control of the materials used are important steps in ensuring comfort and safety on every journey. Pontlab performs tests to assess the mechanical strength, flammability of materials and ergonomics of railway seats. Our tests ensure that seats can withstand daily wear and tear and respond appropriately in an emergency. We follow the guidelines of EN 45545-2 and EN 16989 standards.
The main reference standards in the railway sector include
EN 12663
