Shandong Szeshang Welding Materials Achieves TÜV Rheinland Confirmation for Deutsche Bahn (DB) Railway Standard

We are proud to announce that Shandong Szeshang Welding Materials Co., Ltd. has successfully passed on-site testing in accordance with DB Regulation VA 918 490, a stringent technical standard required by Deutsche Bahn (German Railway) . The confirmation was issued by TÜV Rheinland (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. , a globally recognized independent testing and certification body.

This achievement marks a significant milestone for our company, as we now meet both Chinese railway standards and the rigorous requirements of European rail infrastructure.

Welding Consumables Approved Under DB Regulation VA 918 490

The following welding wires have successfully passed the on-site tests and are now confirmed to comply with DB Regulation VA 918 490:

• SS-G506 (ER70S-6) – A high-performance solid welding wire suitable for carbon steel applications in railway and structural fabrication.

• 5356 (ER5356) – A high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy welding wire, widely used in railway components, automotive parts, and marine structures.

• AI 5087 (ER5087) – An aluminum-magnesium-zirconium alloy welding wire, designed for high-performance welding in demanding applications, including railway rolling stock and lightweight structures.

These products are now positioned to meet the safety, consistency, and performance expectations of railway projects both in China and internationally.

From China Railway to Deutsche Bahn: A Dual Commitment to Quality

This TÜV Rheinland confirmation complements our recent recognition by China Railway (Jinan Bureau Group) , where we were selected as an approved supplier for the 2026 annual procurement of gas-shielded welding wire.

Together, these endorsements demonstrate:

✅ Compliance with China's national railway system – validated through official bidding and supply chain participation.

✅ Alignment with European railway standards – confirmed through independent third-party testing by TÜV Rheinland.

For our global customers, this means that Shandong Szeshang Welding Materials delivers products engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions—whether on China's high-speed rail networks or Europe's mainline rail infrastructure.
