9. Best Railway Certification & Consultancy Company 2025 railway engineering, infrastructure, rolling stock, and other safety-critical systems. The company values analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to work methodically with technical standards and regulatory texts. Equally important is the capacity to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, particularly when undertaking complex, multi-actor projects. “Beyond technical competence, we seek individuals who demonstrate curiosity, adaptability, and a genuine interest in railway systems and safety,” Corina added. “The regulatory and technical landscape continues to evolve, and we value professionals who are motivated to learn continuously, deepen their expertise, and take long-term responsibility for the quality and integrity of their work.” Indeed, the European railway sector is currently undergoing a period of accelerated transformation, in which rail is increasingly positioned as a central pillar of European decarbonisation policies and instrumental in the transition towards a more efficient, resilient transport system. One of the most significant trends is the growing emphasis on interoperability and cross-border compatibility. The implementation and continuous revision of the Technical Specifications for Interoperability impose increasingly detailed requirements on infrastructure, rolling stock, and other subsystems. In turn, railway projects are more often assessed within a European regulatory context rather than purely at national level, increasing the complexity of certification processes and requiring closer collaboration between technical stakeholders and conformity assessment bodies. At the same time, the digitalisation of technical documentation and compliance processes has become a practical necessity. Authorities and certification bodies are increasingly expecting structured, traceable technical files, clear requirement mapping, and consistent change management throughout the project lifecycle. This trend has directly impacted the ways in which certification and authorisation processes are prepared, managed, and monitored. Another key development has been the strengthening of safety oversight and the extension of compliance requirements across the full lifecycle of railway systems. Rather than being limited to design and commissioning phases, the focus now includes operation, maintenance, subsequent modifications, and change management. This shift affects operators, manufacturers, and contractors alike, requiring them to demonstrate ongoing compliance in a more dynamic and continuously supervised regulatory environment. Being based in Europe offers clear advantages, particularly in areas such as certification, interoperability, and technical compliance; the European Union provides the regulatory and institutional framework for modern railway standards while EU directives, Technical Specifications for Interoperability, and the role of European institutions establish benchmarks applied across the Union and widely referenced internationally. Operating within Europe enables Interail Cert to remain directly aligned with this evolving regulatory environment. What’s more, the company is in close proximity to the authorities, certification bodies, and professional networks that shape how these regulations are applied in practice. This closeness supports a more pragmatic understanding of regulatory expectations, reducing the gap between formal compliance and real-world implementation. Furthermore, it facilitates involvement in cross-border projects and supports clients operating across multiple European markets. Romania, specifically, offers Interail Cert additional advantages; the national railway sector is currently experiencing an extensive modernisation process, largely supported by European funding programmes. This has resulted in a high volume of infrastructure and system projects that must comply with European safety and interoperability requirements, while at the same time addressing the challenges of integrating new solutions into existing infrastructure. This environment creates a strong demand for Interail Cert’s specialised expertise in certification and compliance management. Since its establishment in 2022, Interail Cert has been firmly anchored in railway certification and authorisation under national regulatory frameworks and European interoperability requirements. This dual focus has shaped the company’s approach from the outset and continues to define how the team supports clients in navigating complex compliance processes within real operational and institutional contexts. “Looking ahead, the development of Interail Cert is closely linked to the increasing complexity of railway regulation at both national and European level,” Octavian shared, “as well as to the growing demand for structured, transparent, and technically robust certification support. Our objective is to further strengthen our position as a specialised technical partner in railway certification, authorisation, and compliance management, both in Romania and at a European level.” A key strategic direction for the coming years is the expansion of services through digitalisation and target innovation. Interail Cert is working to develop internal strategic tools designed to support railway certification processes by uniting designers, suppliers, contractors, operators, and certifiers within a single, structured working environment. These tools will not replace technical judgement, but support it by improving structure, traceability, and coordination across complex certification workflows. Interail Cert’s digital development roadmap entails structured certification databases, technical document archives, regulatory reference libraries, collaboration features, and AI-supported pre-verification tools aimed at identifying potential compliance gaps at an early stage. In 2026, the team plans to advance this digital framework significantly as part of a broader effort to improve the quality, predictability, and efficiency of the client support services it provides. In parallel, the company will expand its consultancy activities while strengthening partnerships with industry stakeholders involved in railway design, manufacturing, construction, and operation. This is essential for maintaining a practical understanding of how regulatory requirements interact with real engineering and operational constraints. Throughout this, Interail Cert will continue to invest in internal competencies and team growth, while maintaining a strong focus on professional responsibility, technical independence, and a strict adherence to applicable national and European regulations. “Our ambition is not rapid expansion, but controlled and sustainable growth built on technical credibility and long-term trust,” the Co-Founders concluded. “Overall, the future of Interail Cert is focused on combining deep regulatory expertise with well-structured digital support tools, enabling us to transform increasingly complex railway certification requirements into clear, manageable, and predictable processes for our clients.” Contact: Corina Miclescu & Octavian Miclescu Company: Interail Cert SRL Web Address: www.interailcert.com
