The German Railway Authority recognises IMA Dresden as a testing, monitoring and certification body for construction products and construction types in railway-specific applications
The German Railway Authority (Eisenbahn-Bundesamt, EBA) has confirmed the DIBt’s approval of IMA Dresden as a testing, monitoring and certification body also for railway-specific construction products, construction types, components and construction methods. The DIBt approval is a general building authority approval for monitoring and certification bodies in accordance with German state building regulations. It is awarded by the German approval body for construction products and types of construction (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik, DIBt) in Berlin and is thus also valid for railway-specific applications. The scope of the DIBt approval has recently been expanded. See News, “Expansion of the DIBt approval as a monitoring and certification body in accordance with the German state building regulations”.
The full scope of the DIBt approval as a monitoring and certification body in accordance with the German state building regulations (Landesbauordnung) can be viewed here in the current approval notification.
