This document specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization:
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
All the requirements of this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides.
NOTE 1 In this document, the terms “product” or “service” only apply to products and services intended for, or required by, a customer.
NOTE 2 Statutory and regulatory requirements can be expressed as legal requirements.
This document specifies the requirements for a railway quality management system (RQMS)
— applicable throughout the whole supply chain of the railway sector related to industrial products and services,

About This Item
TS ISO 22163 addresses a railway quality management system that builds on the structure of ISO 9001:2015 and adds requirements specific to the railway sector. It is aimed at helping organizations consistently provide products and services that meet customer needs and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, while also strengthening customer satisfaction through a managed and improved system.
How the railway quality management system is organised
In general technical terms, a quality management system is a way of controlling processes, responsibilities, nonconformities and improvement activities in a planned and repeatable manner. In the railway context, this extends across a broad supply chain: design, manufacturing, integration, maintenance and support can all influence the quality of the final output. The practical emphasis is therefore not only on inspection at the end, but on defect prevention and process discipline throughout the chain.
What this standard focuses on
According to the scope, the standard specifies requirements for a railway quality management system applicable throughout the whole supply chain related to industrial products and services. It also highlights continual improvement, defect prevention and defect reduction, and the enhancement and sustainment of product quality, including safety-related aspects. In railway engineering, quality and safety are closely linked in practice: robust management of processes helps reduce variation, prevent errors and improve confidence in outputs that affect rail operations.
- It uses ISO 9001:2015 as the base structure and adds railway-specific requirements.
- It applies across the railway sector supply chain for industrial products and services.
- It emphasizes continual improvement, defect prevention and defect reduction.
- It supports the maintenance and enhancement of product quality, including safety-related aspects.
- It is presented as a generic management-system framework that can be used by organizations of different types and sizes.
