Regulatory Compliance Support

Obtaining a tank car facility certification can be a lengthy and arduous process. Each facility program to become certified requires an application to the AAR for M-1002 Technical Certification and M-1003 Quality Assurance Certification. AllTranstek works closely with the AAR to ensure a seamless application process leading to the certification audit. Our team will work with you on-site during AAR facility audits.

1. M-1002 Technical Certification

2. M-1003 Quality Assurance Certification

In order to be tank car certified, repair facilities must carry out a QA program. Our experts develop, implement, and provide quality assurance manuals, procedures, forms and supporting documentation to complete your quality program.

1. QA Training per Federal Regulations

2. M-1002/M-1003 Internal QA Audit

3. Quality Assurance Training

Railcars that aren’t compliant find themselves off the rails. Our ShopWatch® audit program fulfills equipment owners’ responsibility by ensuring that the tank car facility applies regulatory requirements and equipment owner procedure requirements throughout a qualification or maintenance process.
