Lloyd's Register stands apart

Independent, objective, experienced and committed to helping our clients.

Independent, objective, experienced and committed 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 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.
