Manufacturer-related product qualification (HPQ)

Article: Manufacturer-related product qualification (HPQ)

Certain products and manufacturing processes must meet established quality, safety and reliability requirements. Manufacturer-related product qualification (HPQ) verifies, among other things, that only manufacturers that meet these requirements supply Deutsche Bahn AG (directly or indirectly). The relevant specifications are specified in lists of products subject to quality inspection (LgP), Deutsche Bahn standards (DBS), drawings, specifications or technical bulletins.
