By holding IRIS Certification, companies such as Flexicon can demonstrate their status as a proven and respected supplier to the rail industry.Flexicon has been assessed and certified in accordance with IRIS requirements for the activities of Design and Development and Manufacturing for the scope of certification: 20 (Single Railway Components) Design, development and manufacture of Flexible Conduit Cable Protection Systems.

We have a proven track record of providing cable protection solutions internationally, for both infrastructure and rolling stock projects, and IRIS is widely recognised and requested within the industry.”
