Certifications & Quality Management
Safety-critical applications demand more than compliance alone. Independent certifications, approvals and accredited management systems help verify that safety, security and quality are embedded throughout HIMA's products, engineering processes and operations. Together, they provide a trusted foundation for customers operating critical industrial and rail infrastructure worldwide.

Safety Is Our Responsibility
Safety, security and quality are integral to the way we develop, manufacture and support our solutions. Our approach is based on clearly defined processes, continuous improvement and compliance with applicable regulations and standards.
Quality is a shared responsibility across our organisation and extends to our collaboration with suppliers. Together with certified management systems, Functional Safety Management and independent assessments, this provides the framework for maintaining and continuously improving our standards.
Functional Safety Management has a long history at HIMA and is applied to both product development and engineering activities.
IEC 61508 Functional Safety Management: Development & Production
In 2002, HIMA became the world's first manufacturer to verify the establishment of a Functional Safety Management (FSM) system, as well as its application in product development and manufacturing, through TÜV Rheinland.
IEC 61508 / IEC 61511 Functional Safety Management: Engineering & System Integration
Functional Safety Management also extends to HIMA’s engineering and system integration activities. TÜV Rheinland independently assessed these activities and certified HIMA’s procedures for the integration of safety-related devices and systems in accordance with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511.
HIMA’s Quality Management System has been certified according to ISO 9001 since 1994. Our quality approach puts customer satisfaction at the centre and is based on continuous improvement, clearly defined quality objectives and shared responsibility for quality across the organisation. We also work closely with our suppliers to support consistent quality along the value chain.
Environmental responsibility is an integral part of our approach. We consider environmental aspects throughout the development, manufacturing and distribution of our products and work to reduce the environmental impact of our activities. Our management system, certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001, supports us in conserving resources and minimising waste. Our sustainability commitments include reducing CO₂ emissions, using resources responsibly and working with suppliers to support more sustainable procurement.
