SŽ - VIT passed a surveillance audit, which took place between 18 and 21 November 2019, to renew its ECM certificate for freight wagons and authorization for other vehicles types under Regulation (EU) No 445/2011. The audit examined compliance with the requirements and criteria for the function of maintenance delivery in accordance with Annex III of the mentioned regulation.
A new challenge is already around the corner, however, with the upcoming Regulation (EU) 2019/779 to replace the regulation presently in effect and introduce a single certificate for all rail vehicles. This is a good opportunity for SŽ-VIT to keep up the momentum and use the recently attested compliance with the requirements and criteria under the upcoming regulation to harmonize its processes, so as to ensure the quality of its activities in the European market.
