ENOTRAC is your competent partner for planning and carrying out reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety studies, during development or procurement of safety-critical systems. ENOTRAC engineers also act as independent safety assessors for the objective review and evaluation of demonstration of safety. We are experienced in the application of railway standards, in particular EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129. We also provide support for hazard and risk analyses. Working closely with our customers’ engineers, we apply our efficient IT tools for Hazard Log, FMECA and fault tree analyses.

In modern railways, the EMC challenge is for signalling and radio telecommunications systems using high-frequency micro-processor technology to operate safely and reliably in the immediate vicinity of powerful traction converters, circuit breakers, and current collectors. ENOTRAC has built up vast experience in the areas of compatibility between signalling systems, vehicles, and traction power supply. This includes the application of standards EN 50121, EN 50238, EN 50388, TSI energy and non-ionising radiation compatibility. Our engineers combine leading-edge simulation software for theoretical investigations with on-site tests and measurements to validate and complete the theoretical studies.

The Common Safety Methods ( CSMs) recently-introduced by the European Railway Agency ( ERA) are mandatory for vehicle acceptance and modifications to the infrastructure in the EU. ENOTRAC already has considerable experience in the successful application of CSMs in various countries and has been supporting numerous manufacturers as well as operators in this formal process. The co-operation with SCONRAIL for the required independent assessment has proven to be efficient and successful.
