Approved Manufacturers Scheme
The Approved Manufacturers scheme contributes a key role to the
success of our reputation for quality.
What is Lloyd's Register Approved Manufacturers scheme?
The approved manufacturers scheme provides manufacturers with
recognition for the standards of their products which, in turn,
benefits their clients.
Indeed in the construction and repair of ships, other marine
structures and associated machinery, which are classed or certified
by Lloyd's Register, only materials produced by an approved
manufacturer can be used.
The materials must be manufactured, tested and inspected in
accordance with the Rules for Materials. Materials are to be made
at an approved manufacturer and this approval is specific to
product, category, grade and dimensions detailed shown on the
approval certificate issued to the manufacturer. All mooring
chains, fittings and anchors also have to be tested at a recognised
proving establishment.
How does Lloyd's Register help?
The lists of Approved Manufacturers and Proving Establishments are
available on our web site on ClassDirect Live. Each firm's entry
also contains contact details. The email and web links are active
to give potential clients quick access to the manufacturer.
