Codes

• Pressure equipment codes and standards

  As a manufacturer, you may need third party technical assurance to prove to your clients that your assets are complying with certain statutory requirements, regulations and/or standards. We can assess pressure equipment to almost any international code and standard, including ASME, PED, TPED, NBIC and IBR.

• ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code

  The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is the leading internationally accepted construction code defining the requirements for the design, manufacture, inspection and testing of many types of pressure vessels and nuclear power plant components.

• ISM Code

  We carry out ISM certification on behalf of more than 60 flag administrations. Since the Code was introduced, we have been at the forefront of developments in its interpretation and implementation, leading in the provision of innovative and cost-effective certification and support services.

• ISPS Code

  We have played a proactive role in helping the industry to implement the ISPS Code and offers a full range of statutory certification services to help you maintain compliance. We also offer a series of ISPS training courses.

• SOLAS

  As a result of amendments to SOLAS 1974 a major retroactive requirement will be introduced in October 2010 that will impact on passenger ships. As part of our ongoing support for the passenger industry, we offer a service which will help owners and operators determine what is required on each of their ships to ensure that they maintain compliance.

• MARPOL

  Lloyd's Register is authorised to act on behalf of numerous flag administrations to verify that your vessels comply with MARPOL. Our involvement ranges from initial plan approval and on-board surveys to annual and renewal surveys to ensure compliance is maintained. We are also able to issue type approval certification for marine pollution prevention equipment and sewage treatment plants.

  The International Maritime Organisations Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) adopted a revised MARPOL 73/78 Annex II Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk in 2004 and will enter into force 1 January 2007 and will apply to both new and existing ships.
