The International Railway Industry Standard (IRIS) was developed by the European Railway Industry Association (UNIFE) working group. The purpose of the standard is to create a business management system that allows have permanent improvements, emphasizing the prevention and the defects number reduction in the Supply Chain.
The IRIS certification mechanism is based on the approach in which each site is certified separately, therefore certification of several sites at the same time is not applicable to the process of assessing compliance with the IRIS standard (as it is assumed by other certification processes, for example, according to ISO 9001).
The IRIS standart application area is the development and implementation of a global business management system in the railway industry, which includes:
Stage 1. Preparatory:
1. An appraisal audit for determination the extent to which the company meets the IRIS-standard requirements;
2. Personnel training ;
3. Methodological assistance in conducting enterprise self-assessment in accordance with the "Audit Tool" methodology.
Stage 2. Organizational:
1. Definition of responsibility for the development and implementation of the IRIS-standard requirements at the enterprise;
2. Definition of the enterprise processes and its characteristics, taking into account IRIS requirements;
3. Formation of a responsibility distribution matrix for IRIS processes;
4. Development of the IRIS process interaction model;
5. Determination of the necessary documentation and records list;
6. Development of a project schedule for developing and implementing SMB in accordance with IRIS requirements;
7. Development of necessary organizational and administrative documentation on BMS IRIS.
Stage 3. Designing a business management system:
1. Bringing the Business Plan of the organization into compliance with IRIS requirements;
2. Development of mandatory processes maps in accordance with the IRIS requirements (at least 24);
3. Development of key performance indicators (KPI);
4. Harmonization the Quality Policy with the IRIS requirements;
5. Development (alignment) of the Policy in the field of technical security in accordance with IRIS.
Stage 4. Development of a business management system:
1. Development of mandatory documented procedures in accordance with the IRIS requirements (at least 16);
2. Development and execution of documents containing activities to achieve business objectives, events in the unforeseen circumstances, measures to eliminate bottlenecks in production;
3. Development of the mandatory quality records form (at least 30).
4. Adjustment of the QMS Quality Manual (ISO 9001) to the IRIS requirements.
The creation of an integrated business management system (IBMS) should be based on the principles established in all international management standards applied in the enterprise.
At the same time, the principles formulated in the ISO 9000 and IRIS standards, primarily such as the process approach, the leader's leadership and the involvement of employees, should be adopted as the basic ones. The implementation of very these principles allows the best way to ensure the integration of individual systems into a single complex;
The process and system approach principles can be realized by building an integrated model of IBMS processes according to the requirements of the selected group of standards. The model is built using the "Business Studio" Business Modeling System and the Electronic Document Management "DIRECTUM".
Stage 5. Implementation of BMS:
1. Commissioning of the developed BMS documentation;
2. Internal auditors training;
3. Organization and internal audit conduct, reports preparation on the results of internal audit;
4. Identification and implementation of corrective and preventive actions based on the audit results ;
5. Training of managers in processes measurement and monitoring methods ;
6. Registration of input data, analysis of implemented BMS, output data formalization.
Stage 6. Pre-certification preparation:
1. Testing of employees on knowledge of the work principles in the BMS functioning conditions ;
2. Organization and conduct of enterprise self-assessment in accordance with the "Audit Tool" methodology. Registration of self-assessment results in tabular and graphical form;
3. Pre-certification verification of the implemented business management system. Preparation of the report with recommendations on identified non-conformities elimination;
4. Registration and application submission to the certification body.
Stage 7. Certification audit on compliance with IRIS.

Whether it’s a failure to protect workers against toxic chemicals, or a sleep-deprived employee getting into a fatal car accident, millions of people are hurt or killed at work each year. Now, with the arrival of the world’s first International Standard on occupational health and safety, many such incidents can be prevented. Uncover why ISO 45001 has the potential to be a real game changer for millions of workers (and workplace health hazards) around the world.
The world’s much anticipated International Standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) has just been published, and is set to transform workplace practices globally.
Consumers have high concerns about what they buy and environmental labels and declarations can help them identify those products or services proven “environmentally preferable”. But the world’s environmental context has changed dramatically since 1999 when ISO 14024 laid down the first international requirements for ecolabelling – a change that is mirrored by heightened consumer demands. A new updated version of the standard will help meet these expectations.
2018 may only have just begun, but it looks like a big year for information security. With questions being raised about the security of micro-processors, and major cyber security initiatives such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation brought into effect this year, a new edition of ISO/IEC 27000 has come at just the right time.
Damage to reputation or brand, cyber crime, political risk and terrorism are some of the risks that private and public organizations of all types and sizes around the world must face with increasing frequency. The latest version of ISO 31000 has just been unveiled to help manage the uncertainty.
