What is Independent Verification and Validation?

Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) is a third-party assurance service that we provide to confirm that a product, system or entire railway complies with a client’s specified requirements for Safety, RAM, Functionality and Quality.

An IV&V process involves lifecycle audits and assessments which are used to gather evidence to enable eventual certification.

Our approach will be tailored to each project, but may include:

A verification and validation plan
Design reviews with technical expertise
Gate reviews
Progress monitoring
Design process assessment
RAMS-LCC verification
Assessment of Change Requests
