For the fifth year running, Icomera UK has successfully achieved certification under the Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS).
This accreditation is the trusted benchmark for safety, quality, environmental standards, and reliability in the UK rail sector, and demonstrates Icomera’s commitment to meeting the industry’s most rigorous requirements.
Why RISQS Matters
RISQS certification is more than a quality credential – it is often an essential requirement to participate in UK rail tenders.
By holding RISQS certification, Icomera can demonstrate to clients, partners and stakeholders that it operates safely, ethically, and to the highest professional standards. It is a key factor in securing major contracts, building trust, and delivering long-term value.
Icomera’s RISQS Journey
Since first achieving certification in 2020, Icomera has committed to meeting and exceeding RISQS criteria year after year. The certification process examines all aspects of our operations, from health and safety practices to environmental responsibility, and requires the close collaboration of all teams within our UK operations.
Maintaining this accreditation is a company-wide effort, a reflection of the dedication and professionalism of our people.
Beyond retaining our certification, Icomera has shown continuous improvement against the RISQS criteria, culminating in zero non-conformances in our most recent 2025 audit.
Helen Tanner, Quality Manager for the Rail Compliance Management System and Process Development Manager, Icomera: “I am so proud of our team’s commitment; our collective dedication has truly made a meaningful impact, enhancing our ability to collaborate and clearly reflecting our shared commitment. The investment of time, resources, and energy stands as a testament to that commitment. It also fuels our continuous learning, helps us refine our best practices, and further reinforces our engagement to the scheme, strengthening our ongoing knowledge for the safety of our employees, not only those in the field, but worldwide.”
Peter Kingsland, SVP UK, Icomera: “RISQS is a rigorous and detailed standard so this is a great achievement by the Icomera team. Although RISQS is a UK rail industry scheme, its core requirements regarding health & safety and environmental performance are fully aligned with supporting our delivery of EQUANS Fundamentals in making Icomera a safer and sustainable business.”
