Lloyd's Register stands apart
Independent, objective, experienced and uncompromising in our
commitment to helping our clients.
Independent
Our independence is critical to our clients. To be independent, an
organisation must ultimately be free to make its own decisions,
despite the inevitable commercial and government pressures - we are
and we do.
We have no institutional or private shareholders seeking profits.
Our ability to invest considerable resources in people and
technology has assured our strength and allowed our close
involvement in developments to assist our clients and, in turn,
their customers, for nearly two and a half centuries.
People trust us to deliver impartial, technically correct
judgement.
Reputation
We have built our reputation and ability to change upon the
professional excellence of our people.
Our work is often unseen, but it is critical. We have always taken
great pride in leading the drive for progress - upholding high
technical standards of design, manufacture, construction,
maintenance, operation and performance across many
industries.
We participate in technical meetings of the International
Association of Classification Societies (IACS), we contribute to
the development of codes for bodies such as the International
Maritime Organization (IMO), we help to develop and review ISO
(International Organisation for Standardisation) standards, and we
help develop legislation and rules around the world. We function as
a 'notified body' for many European Community directives, helping
ensure essential product safety rules work properly. We initiate
new standards for quality and safety as the boundaries of knowledge
expand.
Worldwide
The Lloyd's Register Group is a global independent risk
management and safety assurance organisation. Members of the Group
provide services designed to help clients around the world to
achieve their business goals, while optimising safety and quality,
and protecting, even improving, the environment.
Our expertise covers shipping, transportation (particularly rail),
oil and gas, general industry and manufacturing, and management
systems. We work together with our clients to deliver real
value.
We can deliver bold new solutions in the harshest conditions,
facing the toughest problems. And we combine our global reach with
deep local knowledge - you'll find our teams at work all over the
world.
