A TT Electronics Integrated Manufacturing Services product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 12, 2009

TT Electronics Integrated Manufacturing Services has announced that its Rogerstone facility has become the UK's first EMS provider to pass the International Rail Industry Standard (IRIS).

IRIS is a globally recognised standard unique to the railway industries for the evaluation of management systems.

It is based on the ISO 9001 structure and adds railway specific requirements for the business management system, for example, regarding project management and design.

IRIS is an initiative led by the Association of European Railway Industries (UNIFE), supported by system integrators and equipment manufacturers.

The TT electronics site in Rogerstone also achieved AS9100 earlier this year, accrediting the site to manufacture safety critical flight systems for the defence and aerospace industry.
