December 2023 marked a significant milestone for Yuancheng. During that month, we underwent an on-site audit conducted by experts from the International Union of Railways (UIC).
Founded in 1922 following the recommendations of the International Economic Conference and headquartered in Paris, France, the UIC initially consisted of 27 countries and 46 railway organizations, with the aim of promoting the development and standardization of international rail transport. Over the years, UIC has expanded its membership to include more railway-related entities and countries. Today, it comprises 68 railway organizations and 15 affiliated rail institutions, wconsiderable international influence.
Prior to this audit, Yuancheng's rail transit products had already obtained UIC interim certificates. As the first domestic rail transit manufacturer to undergo an on-site UIC assessment, YuanCheng has further demonstrated the recognition of China's rail transit products by international standards authorities, particularly in the field of rail braking systems.
Chairman Zhao Yanjing and General Manager Li Kejun led all departments in welcoming the comprehensive review by UIC.
The certification audit was conducted in two stages:
The first stage involved reviewing management system documents and defining the audit scope.
The second stage verified the compliance, implementation, and operational effectiveness of the organization's management system.
Through on-site inquiries, interviews, and documentation reviews, the audit team assessed the conformity and effectiveness of the company's compliance management system. At the closing meeting of the second stage, the team announced that YuanCheng's compliance management system met UIC standards. The results were submitted to the SET7 committee for vehicle loading and application approval, and the company officially received the UIC certificate in February 2024.
