Euclide Industrie achieves EN 15085-2 CL1 certification and strengthens its railway expertise

Euclide Industrie has obtained the EN 15085-2 CL1 certification, the highest level of requirement for railway welding. As a result, this certification marks a major milestone in the development of our industrial expertise. Moreover, it strengthens our positioning on the most demanding railway projects.

Our Business Unit Euclide Solution led this project and carried out all the necessary developments to reach this level of requirement. Consequently, this work confirms our ability to meet the technical standards of the railway sector.

Beyond technical recognition, this milestone also opens up new opportunities for Euclide Industrie. In addition, it confirms our commitment to developing our expertise in the railway sector and supporting our clients on high value-added technical projects.

What is EN 15085-2 CL1 certification?

The EN 15085 standard defines quality requirements for the welding of railway vehicles and components. It ensures that certified companies have the skills, processes, and organization required to produce welded assemblies that meet the sector’s safety standards.

The CL1 level corresponds to the highest certification level. Thus, it allows companies to work on components that are critical to the structure and safety of railway equipment.

For industrial companies, this certification represents strong recognition of their technical know-how and their ability to comply with particularly strict procedures. Additionally, it is a key criterion for accessing certain markets and tenders in the railway industry.

A project carried out over several years

Obtaining the EN 15085-2 CL1 certification is the result of structured work carried out over several years by the Euclide Solution teams.

The first step was to achieve Level 2 certification after two years of work. This level helped structure internal methods and processes. Once this level was reached, the teams continued their efforts for an additional six months to achieve CL1.

This work was carried out with the support of an external IWE (International Welding Engineer), who provided additional technical expertise and ensured compliance with all implemented procedures.

The main challenge was to transpose the rigor of the railway sector into a multi-activity environment. At the same time, working methods were harmonized to meet the expected level of requirement.

Stronger day-to-day requirements

To achieve CL1 level, Euclide Solution strengthened several key aspects of its industrial organization.

Among the changes implemented, material traceability is a central element. Every material used must be fully identified and tracked to ensure the conformity of produced parts.

Cleanliness and workstation organization have also been reinforced. Each workstation is now dedicated to a clearly identified type of material to avoid any confusion and maintain a fully controlled production environment.

Teams also benefit from enhanced methodological support, with rigorous monitoring of welding plans and associated procedures. This approach ensures the quality of assemblies and the conformity of produced parts.

These requirements are now fully integrated into the daily operations of production teams. Consequently, they contribute to strengthening rigor, precision, and overall workshop performance.

New operational capabilities

The EN 15085-2 CL1 certification also opens up new technical possibilities for Euclide Industrie.

It enables the company to work on structural and safety-critical parts, which play a key role in the reliability of railway equipment. These components include, for example, bogies, which are essential elements of train running systems.

This ability to work on critical parts confirms the high level of technical expertise achieved by the teams and strengthens Euclide Industrie’s credibility in this market.

New opportunities in the railway market

Thanks to the EN 15085-2 CL1 certification, Euclide Industrie can now respond to more demanding tenders and collaborate with major railway contractors.

This recognition provides access to new projects and expands our scope of activity in the railway sector. It also helps create greater added value for the company by strengthening its positioning on high technical requirement projects.

Beyond commercial prospects, this certification confirms Euclide Industrie’s ability to meet the highest industrial standards.

A collective achievement driven by our teams

The EN 15085-2 CL1 certification is above all the result of collective work. It reflects the commitment, rigor, and dedication of the teams involved in this project.

Thanks to their efforts, Euclide Industrie reaches a new milestone in the development of its industrial expertise and confirms its ability to evolve in highly demanding technical environments.

This achievement perfectly illustrates the group’s core values: boldness, team spirit, and technical excellence in service of our clients’ projects.
