TY - CONF A1 - Holstein, R. A1 - Müller, Christina T1 - Analyzing the reliability of non-destructive tests using the modular modell - a practical approach T2 - Proceedings of the 19th World Conference on Non-Destructive Testing N2 - Non-destructive testing is an important tool to guarantee the safety of railway traffic. The infrastructure with tracks, switches and sleepers is regularly tested, the locomotives and wagons with their wheels, bogies and axles as well. Many years of experience and some events lead in Germany to a good practice in testing the railway components. Now, European authorities are drafting a system of common requirements and standards for the European Railway Market. The German practice combines an intensive training of the NDT-personnel including sufficient time for practical exercises with organizational measures of the companies, responsible for rolling stock and infrastructure. Through the example of UT-testing of railway axles it will be shown, how training and organizational measures influence the reliability of such testing.
