Communications and networking solutions provider, Moxa, has achieved the IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) Certification Silver Quality Performance Level during a recent surveillance audit. This makes it one of 12% of certified companies in the international rail equipment sector that have been awarded an IRIS Silver rating.
To enhance the overall quality of the rail sector and drive innovation, IRIS certified companies can be awarded one of three performance levels — Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Achieving a higher quality performance level requires companies to boost customer satisfaction and improve the efficiency of their rail business. Moxa’s steadfast commitment since 2013 to ensure the quality, reliability, and safety of its rail products and solutions comply with the rigid rail industry standards has helped elevate Moxa’s performance level from Bronze to Silver.
Key performance areas for evaluation included customer satisfaction, timely delivery to customers, requirement management, project management, external supplier management, and traceability. Remarkable performance in these areas has significantly boosted Moxa’s scores in the overall audit categories, which cover Enablers, Process Performance, and Customer Perception.
The most recent IRIS Certification Revision 04 covers the latest version of the ISO 22163:2023 standard, the IRIS Certification Performance Assessment issued by UNIFE (Union of European Railway Industries) in July 2023, and the IRIS Certification Technology. It outlines a railway quality management system that integrates the ISO 9001 quality management standards along with railway-specific requirements.
