Estrafic Proves Safety of Top-Bottom Opening Screen Doors... Achieves SIL4 Certification

[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Estraffic has obtained the SIL (Safety Integrity Level) 4 certification for its Vertical Platform Screen Door (VPSD).

Estraffic, a transportation solution specialist company, announced on the 15th that it received SIL4 certification for its vertical platform screen doors.

SIL is a global safety certification system that measures the safety and reliability of electronic, electrical, and signaling fields in industrial equipment such as railways and automobiles. SIL4 is the highest level within SIL.

VPSD operates the screen door vertically. It is tailored to the European railway market environment. In 2017, Estraffic won the world's first VPSD construction project from the French National Railway Company. Over the following three years, Woori Technology manufactured the VPSD products, and Estraffic installed and conducted safety tests at Vanes Malakoff Station in Paris, France. After this process, the technical expertise and product safety were recognized, leading to the acquisition of SIL4. The French National Railway Company will pilot operate Estraffic's VPSD system for one year starting at the end of this month.

An Estraffic official stated, "This certification acquisition is expected to serve as a foundation for entering screen door projects promoted by various countries overseas," adding, "It not only establishes a strong entry barrier against advanced foreign competitors but also will be a cornerstone for becoming a global transportation solution provider in various fields such as railways in the future."
