Corrective Actions

IRIS Certification aims at enhancing the quality of individual rail companies and the sector as a whole. However, to be able to improve, we first need to know the challenges the sector is facing. As the IRIS Certification system ensures transparent and objective assessment of companies’ quality performance, it allows us to better understand the shortcomings the sector is facing to improve its overall performance. Corrective Actions are used during the IRIS Certification audits to draw attention to a fault in company’s quality management system that needs to be corrected in order to be awarded an IRIS Certificate. This section will provide you with an overview of Corrective Actions per IRIS activity, continent, chapter and more.
