The design and development of a world-leading
product such as the Safescape® System takes many years
of continued effort and application. However the effort doesn't
stop there. Before a safety product such as Safescape®
can be approved for use on trains worldwide it must undergo
years of rigorous testing by a variety of railway bodies and
Railway Safety consultants.
In addition to the standards noted below with which Safescape®
fully complies, it has also now received full certification
from Atkins
Rail for use on the railways.
- Certificate of Conformance for Vehicle Construction
- NS/BD/0297/03.
- Certificate of Conformance for Vehicle Design - NS/DS/0098/03.
- Certificate of Engineering Acceptance - NS/1142/03.
