– 9 stations
– Approximately 21km of tunnel
– Long train (6 cars)
– 2 Tonçons 2025 and 2027
L15 EAST – St Denis Pleyel / Champygny Centre:
– 10 stations and a maintenance site for rolling stock and infrastructure
– 26 km of tunnels (23 of which on line and 3 for access to the maintenance site)
– Long trains (6 cars)
– 2 timetables 2025 and 2030
L16 – Saint Denis Pleyel / Noisy Champs:
– 9 stations
– Approximately 31 km of tunnels (including tunnels connecting to maintenance sites and line 17 connections)
L17 – Le Bourget RER / Mesnil-Amelot:
– 6 stations
-21 km of track
-Short trains (3 cars)
– 2 Sections 2023/2024 and 2030

Scope of work
Certifer carries out an OQA (Organisme Qualifié Agréé) mission in the following disciplines
Global System
- Organizational, methodological and technical aspects contributing to the safe development of the system,
- Methodology adopted for the identification of external, natural and technological risks,
- Interfaces between the different subsystems.
Rolling Stock, including Rolling Stock and Infrastructure Maintenance Vehicles (VMI)
- Body – Bearing – guidance,
- Traction – braking,
- On-board electrical safety systems.
Infrastructure
- Civil Engineering – Solidity;
- Civil engineering – Fire safety, evacuation and emergency response;
- Equipment – Fire safety, evacuation and implementation of emergency services;
- Platform, tracks and turnouts ;
- Strength of platform facades (METRO)
Energy, including electrical traction energy in the following aspects:
- Electrical safety ;
- Mechanical strength.
Control-Command and Signalling including :
- Command and control;
- Railway signalling.
- Control system for the opening of landing doors (METRO)
Operational subsystems:
- Processing of safety requirements identified during the development of the system and exported to operations and maintenance
As well as the evaluation of the measures to be taken to ensure, in safety, the automatic driving of trains on the maintenance sites (SMR), with respect to the personnel and the other trains or Infrastructure Maintenance Vehicles (VMI ).
