Special Processes (IRIS)
Special Processes (IRIS)
(OP)
International Railway Industry Standard (IRIS) pays special attention to special Processes. Special process is any process that cannot be validated using nondestructive methods and failure is only apparent during end use. What we need to do, is any supplier that has one of these special processes (Painting, Bonding, Wiring, Welding, Riveting...etc) Must qualify their product using destructive means. Does anyone know an industry standard (ASTM or other) for destructive validation of these special processes?

Normally in my experience the Railways have their own standards and norms and abide by them.
Learn the rules,so you know how to break them properly.

To have a general idea about the requirements you may check NADCAP site, used for aeronautic parts manufacturing but they try to deal with everything.

Checking their requirements may give an idea.
