Rail and Transportation Validation Suites™
CENELEC EN-50128 ▪ 49CFR236 Subpart H ▪ IEC 62279 ▪ IEC 61508
Proven, Cost-effective, and Flexible
With a worldwide installed base, Validation Suites are used by leading manufactures of locomotive, control, signaling, and safety-systems. Validation Suites are proven in use and deployed for certification of CENELEC EN 50128 Safety-Integrity-Level 4 (SIL4) production systems in the EU, North America and Asia.

In addition to the RTOS project, build and source files, Validation Suites contain the essential software requirements, design, source code, test code, test results, requirements trace matrix, safety-manual and all other artifacts required to certify popular embedded real-time operating system software.
Regardless of the market, two things separate winning products from second place. Innovation, the ability to create new, efficient products is critical to success. However, innovation is not enough. Bringing that product to market first is also essential. Napoleon once said “You may ask me for anything you like except time”. Today, over two-hundred years later leading locomotive, railway control and signaling manufacturers are slashing schedules as well as budgets with Validation Suites.
Successful development teams recognize the difficult act involved in balancing innovation with the risk associated with adding and integrating new features and technologies. Rather than starting from scratch; they use jumpstart their project with a proven development solution. VSC’s proven, cost-effective, CENELEC/IEC compliant Validation Suite. VSC complements, not constrains product development.
Validation Suites offer “off the shelf” prices, choice of hardware, tools and development environment so that development teams aren’t forced to learn new skills in parallel with new technologies. Validation Suites are available for popular real-time operating system kernels, and support a broad and growing set of “middleware” options such as fault-tolerant file-systems, Ethernet based connectivity, serial protocol stacks and board level software. Validation Suites reduce risk, save money and help developers focus on what is important - Not “Me too features and commodity OS software.”
| Validated Software’s Rail and Transportation
Validation Suites are certifiable to and have been proven for certification of devices up to and
including EN-50128 SIL 4 /
