THINK SAFE. THINK ICS.

Your path to safe approval with verification, validation & quality assurance

No more uncertainty and rework. Get started.With a system that worksandis approved.

From proof to approval

When safety certificates, independent expert opinions and approval by supervisory authorities such as the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) or the Federal Office of Transport (BAV) are at stake, there can be no loopholes. Nevertheless, many companies struggle with unclear specifications, high costs and a lack of experience in the verification process - especially when it comes to the early detection of sources of error and deviations.

When projects stumble: deadline problems, cost stress, uncertainty

We prevent this - with an end-to-end process of verification, validation and quality assurance (VVQ) that provides you with structure, security and approval success. We identify inconsistencies at an early stage to avoid unnecessary iterations during development.Our work follows the proven V-model in accordance with EN 50716 for software or EN 50126 for systems - comprehensible, standard-compliant and ready for any audit.

Your path to secure approval - in 6 steps

VVQ for system & software: standard-compliant and safe for authorities. Whether at system or software level, our verification, validation and quality assurance (VVQ) activities follow a structured plan.

1. analyze requirements - identify risks before they become expensive

We start by clarifying: What does the system have to do - and where are the risks? This clarity saves expensive loops later on and ensures that your project gets off to a structured start.

  • Definition of safety-related requirements (IEC 61508, EN 50126, EN 50128/ EN 50716, EN 50129, EN 50159)
  • Risk analysis to avoid project delays
  • Verification & validation planning as a common thread

Your advantage: No surprises - you start on a solid foundation.

2. verification - "Are we building the system correctly?"

Errors in implementation cost time, money - and nerves.
We consistently check your system against the specifications. Every step is comprehensibly documented and ready for an audit.

  • Systematic review of all relevant requirements based on the verification plan
  • Systematic testing (including code reviews for error prevention, performance testing, software error impact analysis, black box testing, interface testing, traceability)
  • Verification in accordance with current standards (IEC 61508, EN 50126, EN 50128/ EN 50716, EN 50129, EN 50159) and creation of a verification report. In this way, we ensure that your system meets the specified requirements exactly - right from the start.

Your advantage: No surprises - you start on a solid foundation.

3. validation - "Are we building the right thing? "

A system or software can be technically perfect - and still not be approved.
Our validation ensures that your systems or software are really suitable for the intended use - and that the approval authority sees this in black and white.

  • Validation under real operating conditions
  • Systematic review of all relevant safety requirements based on the validation plan
  • Continuous documentation as proof for approval.
  • Qualified safety validation in accordance with all relevant standards
  • Creation of valid, authority-compliant reports

Your benefit: Your system not only works - it also meets all regulatory expectations.You also avoid delays in the approval process and expensive rework.

4. quality assurance - because "almost good enough" is not enough

A lack of quality costs more than you think - often at the very end.
We integrate end-to-end quality management[(link: QM)] into your processes and help you to work efficiently and error-free right from the start.

  • Customized quality strategies
  • Efficient testing processes to optimize development time
  • Validation according to the highest safety standards
  • Smooth processes thanks to integrated QM

Your benefit: Less rework. More control. Clear test paths.

5. evidence & documentation - ready for the audit

What is not documented does not count - especially with the authorities.
We create all reports so that they meet the formal requirements and open the door to approval for you.

  • Seamless verification documentation as the basis for approval
  • Standard-compliant creation of safety certificates and verification reports
  • Usable for internal audits & external inspection bodies

Your advantage: You will appear prepared - with convincing reports.

6. approval - without stumbling blocks to market entry

We accompany you - all the way to the green light from the authorities.
Our structured preparation ensures that assessments run smoothly. And if questions do arise, we are at your side.

  • Support with independent assessments and assessments by supervisory authorities (EBA, BAV, etc.)
  • Avoidance of unnecessary additional claims thanks to clean preparatory work
  • Smooth approval support for a secure market entry

Your advantage: Safely to approval - efficiently and professionally accompanied.
