Republican Center for Certification and Expertise

Republican Center for Certification and Expertise (hereinafter referred to as the Center) is the organization responsible for conducting certification of specialists and examination of objects in the field of railway transport. The Center's activities are aimed at ensuring the safety, quality and reliability of railway infrastructure and equipment, as well as improving the professional level of specialists in this field.


Technical Inspection of Rolling Stock:

The REPUBLICAN CENTRE FOR CERTIFICATION AND EXPERTISE provides comprehensive diagnostic services for assessing the technical condition of rolling stock. We identify faults, evaluate wear levels, and ensure compliance of structural components with established safety standards. All inspections are conducted using certified and calibrated equipment, guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability of our assessments.

  • Instrumental diagnostics of wagons and locomotives – inspection of running gear, body, frame, automatic couplers, and braking systems.
  • Wheelset condition analysis – wear measurement, detection of cracks and defects using an ultrasonic flaw detector.
  • Assessment of brake system performance – checking the efficiency of braking mechanisms, air leaks, and compliance with safety parameters.
  • Measurement of critical component dimensions – monitoring the geometric parameters of structural elements, including axles, springs, and journal boxes.
  • Issuance of expert reports – preparation of official reports for courts, insurance companies, and regulatory authorities.

Technical Inspection of Railway Tracks:

The REPUBLICAN CENTRE FOR CERTIFICATION AND EXPERTISE provides professional services for diagnosing the condition of railway infrastructure. We conduct a comprehensive instrumental assessment to identify wear, deformations, and potential risks affecting operational safety. All measurements are carried out using certified and regularly calibrated instruments, ensuring accuracy and objectivity in our conclusions.

  • Instrumental inspection of the track superstructure – comprehensive diagnostics of rails, sleepers, fastenings, and ballast.
  • Gauge measurement using a track template – precise determination of track width to ensure compliance with standards.
  • Measurement of critical distances – verification of geometric track parameters to detect deviations.
  • Measurement of wear on metal components of rails and turnouts – assessment of technical condition and determination of remaining service life.

Independent Investigation of Railway Accidents, Derailments, and Collisions :

Objective Analysis of Railway Incidents

Our company specializes in independent investigations of railway accidents, derailments, and other incidents. We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the causes, identify contributing factors, and provide expert reports for courts and insurance companies.

  • Technical assessment of rolling stock and infrastructure
  • Analysis of documentation and witness statements
  • Identification of accident causes and regulatory violations
  • Preparation of reports for courts, insurance companies, and regulatory authorities

Assessment and Classification of Used Rails and Turnouts:

We conduct a technical evaluation of worn rails and turnouts, identify defects, and determine their suitability for further use, repair, or disposal. All measuring instruments and flaw detectors undergo regular calibration, ensuring the accuracy of our assessments.

  • Technical diagnostics of rails and turnouts using an ultrasonic flaw detector
  • Wear measurement with a caliper and other certified instruments
  • Determination of suitability categories: fit for reuse, requiring repair, or subject to disposal
  • Issuance of expert reports for courts, insurance companies, and regulatory authorities
  • Analysis of operational history and identification of possible causes of wear

Certification of Qualifications for Railway Transport Managers and Engineering Personnel:

The REPUBLICAN CENTRE FOR CERTIFICATION AND EXPERTISE provides services for assessing and verifying the compliance of railway transport managers and engineering-technical personnel with qualification requirements. Based on the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated July 4, 2023, No. 14-VIII ZRK "On Professional Qualifications" and the Rules for the Recognition of Professional Qualifications, approved by the Order of the Minister of Labour and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhsta

  • Document submission. The candidate submits the necessary documents for certification.
  • Appointment of the assessment date. The date and time of the test are scheduled.
  • Completion of the test. The examination is conducted online on a computer in a test format.
  • Evaluation of results. Based on the test results, a conclusion is issued ("passed" / "not passed").
  • Issuance of a qualification certificate. If the test is successfully completed, the candidate receives an electronic qualification certificate.



The Center's activities are aimed at ensuring a high level of safety, quality and professionalism in the railway industry, which contributes to the efficient and reliable operation of railway transport in the country.
