Officially certified for deployment on Network Rail crossings, delivering safer and smarter inspections

We are proud to announce that the 900 Industrial Endoscope has received Full Acceptance (PA05/08113) from Network Rail, effective 27 August 2025. This approval marks a significant step forward in delivering innovative, reliable inspection technology for the UK rail industry. With this recognition, rail professionals can now deploy the 900 Industrial Endoscope across the network with complete confidence in its capability and compliance.

The Importance of Rail Safety

Rail crossings are among the most critical and high-risk components of the railway network. Even minor defects, such as cracks or wear, can escalate quickly into costly failures or service disruptions if left undetected. Regular and thorough inspections are essential to ensure the safe operation of trains, protect assets, and safeguard passengers and staff.

The 900 Industrial Endoscope addresses these challenges head-on. By combining robust design with advanced dual-camera technology, it allows inspectors to access and closely examine hard-to-reach areas of crossings with precision and ease. With this new Certificate of Acceptance, the product is formally recognised as a trusted inspection tool for use on Network Rail infrastructure, helping to maintain operational safety and prevent unforeseen failures.

Supporting Preventative Maintenance

Since its introduction, the 900 Industrial Endoscope has already proven its value in the field. Inspectors using the device have been able to:

Conduct detailed inspections of core pockets, ribs, and other critical crossing components.
Identify and record actionable defects before they develop into major safety concerns.
Capture high-quality images and videos, stored securely on Micro-SD cards, to support accurate reporting and traceability.
Improve efficiency through its ergonomic, one-handed operation, even in complex environments.

By enabling rail teams to take proactive, preventative measures, the 900 Industrial Endoscope directly supports Network Rail’s ongoing commitment to reliability, safety, and long-term asset performance. Instead of reacting to failures, maintenance teams can plan and act earlier, reducing costs, minimising downtime, and improving passenger service continuity.
