Series Modification Approval

Approval for the same modification applied across a series of vehicles, with one approval covering the whole run.

Overview

Modify once, approve the whole series.

Series modification approval covers vehicles modified in series: the same change applied across a run of vehicles. As an STB-appointed technical service (E37), we assess the modification against every regulation it affects, run the tests and prepare the technical file for the approval authority.

Modifying a single vehicle? Individual Approval covers one-off vehicles.
