Evraz has successfully completed the qualification tests of its rails with Deutsche Bahn and received the HPQ certificate from the German operator. The document allows Evraz, after the completion of the ongoing track tests, to bid in Deutsche Bahn’s tenders starting from 2017.
The certificate covers the 60E2 rails both head-hardened and non-heat-treated. Evraz intends to start producing two more rail profiles for Deutsche Bahn shortly under the same certificate.
Certification involved two steps: qualification of 60E2 rails in the track system and audit of Evraz quality management system by Deutsche Bahn inspectors.
In 2015 a pilot lot of 60E2 rails by Evraz was delivered to Germany and laid in track of one of the German railways.
