ISO 22163 – Railway Industry Quality Management System (QMS)
Driving Safety, Reliability, and Quality in the Global Railway Sector
The railway industry requires the highest standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency. To meet these global demands, the ISO 22163 Standard (based on ISO 9001 and developed with the International Railway Industry Standard – IRIS) establishes a Quality Management System (QMS) specifically designed for railway organizations, including manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers.
Implementing ISO 22163 ensures consistent quality, enhanced safety, risk management, and global recognition across the railway supply chain.

- Lifecycle management of railway products and services.
- Risk & Safety management in rail operations.
- Configuration management for complex railway systems.
- Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) integration.
- Supply chain standardization and transparency.

The standard is applicable to all railway industry stakeholders, including:
- Railway component manufacturers
- Rolling stock and system suppliers
- Maintenance & repair service providers
- Signaling, infrastructure, and technology providers
