1. An adequate level of formalization :

14 procedures to be documented (ISO 9001: 6)19 processes required (ISO 9001: 3)

2. A pre-requisite before starting the audit :

Readiness review12 KO questions

3. Specific rules controlling:

Actors (CB – global presence, railway experience, targets to meet, auditors – auditing and railway experience, training and exams conduct by IMC, case study renewal... )Certification process (remote functions, auditor evaluation, compensative and rewarding approach, software support...)Assessment guideline (readiness review, CARs and IARs, questionnaire and maturity levels...)

∑ of points / max points ≥ Threshold (~ 50 % )


Corrective and improvement actions


100% of the requirements from ISO 9001:2000

we built on a large and recognized foundationbut we are convinced about the specificities of Railways

Imposing processes will force the companies to secure their knowledge and bring confidence for the customer

12 KO questions as a first step11 are linked to processes1 is linked to a procedure

IRIS is process oriented
