# RISQS helps to take the RISKS out of Supplier Choice

As an approved supplier to the railway industry for many years, TFC already recognise the high importance placed on product safety and, as a result, we have recently registered with The Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS).

RISQS is a vendor qualification scheme - that means TFC can be audited and assessed to pre-qualify to work with over 110 buying organisations. Buyers will already be using RISQS to look for suppliers like us, as they can search for companies based on their products, services, skills, size and location and their credentials in delivering safety and quality. By doing this buyers, such as train operating companies or infrastructure managers, benefit from a list of suppliers from which a tender selection process can begin.  
 RISQS helps buyers to manage risk, save time and money, and generate assurance via an independent audit of over 2000 suppliers. This means they can quickly and efficiently find suppliers who are the right size, with the right capability and competence, to meet their particular needs.

TFC Europe Ltd is one of the leading providers of technical fastener components to industry, with an unrivalled reputation for delivering innovative products, supply solutions, and exemplary service, to help our customers achieve breakthroughs in product development and new standards of manufacturing efficiency.
