RISQS Accreditation
The Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) is the formal recognition that a supplier has demonstrated the necessary competence, safety, and quality to deliver products and services to the UK rail industry. Managed by RSSB, RISQS is the benchmark for quality assurance within the railway supply chain.

About RISQS
The Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) serves as a single-entry point for suppliers to the UK rail industry. Originally known as Achilles Link-up, RISQS was established to streamline the pre-qualification process for suppliers wishing to work in the Network Rail infrastructure, including London Underground.
RISQS plays a crucial role in the rail industry by offering a smarter, more efficient platform for supplier verification. Through rigorous independent assessment, RISQS ensures that only the most capable and qualified suppliers are visible to the industry’s largest buyers. This system not only enhances the procurement process but also reduces risks associated with supply chain management, providing a safer and more reliable service to the rail industry.
Benefits of Working with a RISQS-Accredited Supplier

- Risk Reduction: By working with a RISQS-accredited supplier, you as a buyer can be confident in reduced supply chain risks. The accreditation ensures compliance with the industry’s strict safety and quality standards, providing peace of mind.
- Cost-Effective Procurement: The RISQS accreditation standardises the pre-qualification process, leading to more efficient and cost-effective procurement of services. This benefits both buyers and suppliers by reducing time and administrative burdens.
