Recent projects
With over 50 organisations certified worldwide, our track record in this field is unparalleled. To quote one of our rail clients:
Alex Lau, Safety & Quality Manager, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (now merged with MTR), said: "KCRC’s mission is to provide safe, reliable and quality transport services to Hong Kong people following prudent commercial principles. By achieving an internationally acclaimed PAS 55 certification of its asset management system, KCRC can demonstrate to its stakeholders that the railway assets are optimally managed from cradle to grave to maximize their life-cycle contribution to the business."
"KCRC chose Lloyd’s Register as the auditor for certifying its AMS because they have been well recognized as a pioneer in developing the PAS 55 standard and a robust approach to certification. In addition, Lloyd’s Register has a long history of working with railways around the world, and we trust that Lloyd’s Register can understand our operating needs and help us through the assessment process in the most effective manner.”
