TT electronics achieve a First in Rail IRIS certification

TT electronics integrated manufacturing services in Rogerstone, South
Wales has become the United Kingdom's first manufacturing facility to be
awarded the IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) Revision 02
certification.
"It is TT electronics integrated manufacturing services' long-term
vision to extend our footprint in the global rail transportation
sector", said John Molloy, Divisional Chief Executive.
"By winning this
latest version of the IRIS standard, we are confident that we will be
able to further strengthen our international presence in the rail
manufacturing industry."
In 2009, the TT electronics facilities in Rogerstone, UK and Suzhou,
China successfully achieved the IRIS rail standard 01 - a globally
recognized certification that qualifies component manufacturers to work
with railway equipment manufacturers, system integrators, assemblers,
and their suppliers. The Suzhou site boasts being the first
manufacturing facility in China to be awarded with IRIS.
"We are pleased to be the first company in the United Kingdom to receive
the IRIS certification", said Gary Allen, Managing Director of the
Rogerstone, South Wales's facility. "The 02 version of the IRIS standard
represents the most stringent requirements on quality standards in the
global rail transportation industry.
Being awarded this certification
is a tremendous source of pride and serves as a tribute to the dedicated
team in all of our global manufacturing facilities."
Established in 2005 by the Association of the European Railway
Industries (UNIFE), IRIS was created to develop and implement a global
system with uniform language, uniform assessment guidelines, and mutual
acceptance of audits for the evaluation of companies supplying to the
railway industry in order to create a high level of transparency
throughout the supply chain.
