Our Management Systems business, provided by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance Ltd (LRQA), is acknowledged worldwide for its professionalism and innovation in assisting clients to use management systems to improve their businesses. Working closely with the other parts of the Lloyd's Register Group, LRQA helps clients to identify risks and optimise their business performance in the marine, transport, oil and gas, chemicals and power sectors. Our assessors also serve leading names in the engineering, manufacturing, construction, energy, information technology and service industries.
Our unique approach to business assurance is designed to ensure a client’s management system can demonstrate continual improvement and deliver on the promises it makes to all stakeholders. An assessment is a comparison of a company's activities against a defined standard such as ISO 9000 (quality) or ISO 14001 (environmental). The check should confirm the appropriateness and adequacy of specified controls and that the requirements of all the assessment criteria are effectively addressed.
