ISO 9001 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Gaining certification from Lloyd’s Register (LR) demonstrates that your quality management system (QMS) follows a robust and globally recognised approach that’s focused on continually improving your processes and managing business risks to meet the needs and expectations of your customers and other stakeholders.

Satisfied customers

Designed for organisations of any size and in any sector, ISO 9001:2015 certification enables you to demonstrate that you are committed to meeting customer and stakeholder needs and expectations through quality and continual improvement.

New business opportunities

In many cases, independent third-party certification to ISO 9001 is a requirement to trade and through our globally recognised brand, certification from LR can provide a competitive advantage. Where certification is not a contractual obligation, it provides credibility to develop secure business relationships within your supply chain.

Streamlined processes

By following the best practice principles found in ISO 9001, certification helps develop a more robust approach to risk management and a greater understanding of the internal and external context of your organisation, which will contribute to your business effectiveness and performance.

Easy integration

ISO 9001 follows Annex SL, the High Level Structure used by all new and revised ISO standards, which makes it far simpler for management system controls to be integrated into a single ‘business management system’, helping reduce duplication in cost and effort.

LR has built a portfolio of services to meet your needs. We specialise in management systems compliance including training, gap analysis and certification. We explore every problem thoroughly with exact, analytical precision and leave no stone unturned to draw accurate conclusions for your organisation. 

Accreditation

LR was the first certification body to gain accreditation from the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), which means you can be confident we have the experience, expertise and professionalism to carry out your assessment.

Technical expertise

Our assessors are industry specialists who are matched with your business needs to ensure we add value through an effective and robust audit of your system and by making the appropriate recommendations to improve your management system and business at the same time.

Your business helps LR to help others

The profits we generate fund the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, a charity which supports science and engineering-related research, education and public engagement around everything we do. All of this helps us stand by the purpose that drives us every single day: Working together for a safer world.
