Certification DIN EN 15085-2, level CL1
Highest level of quality and safety when welding rail vehicles
SPALECK GmbH & Co. KG has successfully achieved the highest certification level, CL1, in accordance with DIN EN 15085-2. This makes it a certified specialist company for welding rail vehicle components that are critical to safety.
Special manufacturing expertise required
As these components are important for vehicle safety, companies in Europe must be demonstrably qualified and certified to manufacture them. This is based on the European standard DIN EN 15085-2 “Railway applications – Welding of railroad vehicles and components – Part 2: Quality requirements and certification of welding manufacturers”.
Jörg Halladin, welding engineer and welding supervisor at SPALECK: “Welding in rail vehicle manufacturing places high demands on quality due to the continuous dynamic loads experienced during operation and the applicable safety requirements. At the same time, we are committed to working efficiently—both for ourselves and for our customers. Therefore, meticulous care and the appropriate expertise are absolutely essential for manufacturing these parts.”
New construction, conversion and maintenance of rail vehicles and their components
With its successful certification at Level CL1, SPALECK is consistently expanding its manufacturing expertise in rail vehicles.
“We have been certified to the second-highest certification level CL2 of DIN EN 15085-2 since spring 2014. This has already allowed us to weld unpressurized containers without special test pressure as well as simple add-on parts for rail vehicles. Now that we have achieved the highest certification level CL1, we also offer our customers welded components for the new construction, conversion and repair of entire rail vehicles and their components,” says Christian Schleif, Sales Manager of the Metal Processing division.
Certification Benefits All SPALECK Customers
SPALECK offers a truly exceptional level of manufacturing and quality—and not just to customers in the rail sector. Schleif: “Every single customer benefits directly from certification in accordance with DIN EN 15085-2, as it documents mechanical engineering at the highest level. “Whether it’s our metalworking division or the manufacture of precision parts, including 3D coordinate measurement, SPALECK stands for the highest quality. And it has been that way for five generations.”
