Moxa Inc. has achieved the IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) Certification Silver Quality Performance Level in a recent surveillance audit, placing the company among the 12% of certified firms in the international rail equipment sector with this rating.
To enhance the overall quality of the rail sector and drive innovation, IRIS certified companies can be awarded one of three performance levels — Bronze, Silver, or Gold. To reach a higher quality performance level, companies must improve customer satisfaction and increase rail business efficiency. Since 2013, Moxa has worked to meet rail industry standards for quality, reliability and safety in its products and solutions, helping the company move from a Bronze to a Silver rating.
Key performance areas for evaluation included customer satisfaction, timely delivery to customers, requirement management, project management, external supplier management, and traceability. Remarkable performance in these areas has significantly boosted Moxa’s scores in the overall audit categories, which cover enablers, process performance, and customer perception.
The recent IRIS Certification Revision 04 covers the latest version of the ISO 22163:2023 standard, the IRIS Certification Performance Assessment issued by UNIFE (Union of European Railway Industries) in July 2023, and the IRIS Certification Technology. It outlines a railway quality management system that integrates the ISO 9001 quality management standards along with railway-specific requirements.
