Ricardo is a global leader in rail certification, assurance, and safety assessment services, supporting clients across every stage of the rail system lifecycle from design and development through to delivery and operations.
Our accredited certification bodies and assessment teams operate across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, providing independent assurance for heavy rail, metro, light rail, and high-speed rail systems. With deep technical expertise and robust, internationally recognised methodologies, we help ensure that rail networks meet the highest safety, performance, and regulatory standards.
In AUSTRALIA, Ricardo applies this global capability through a locally based team that understands the specific technical, regulatory, and operational context of the Australian market.
Amongst others, we are currently delivering Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) services for key programs including Victoria’s X’TRAPOLIS 2.0 fleet and the QUEENSLAND Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP), covering all aspetcs of rollingstock, manufacturing, and new maintenance facilities.
These projects highlight our ability to assess and assure complex, multi-disciplinary systems from vehicles and signalling to infrastructure and operations. As Australia advances towards major new projects, including future high-speed rail, Ricardo is well placed to provide trusted, independent assurance across the entire rail network.
