Our accreditations
Transparent and credible governance of certification bodies through the accreditation process is fundamentally important to the value of independent assessment and certification.
Accreditation is central to stakeholder confidence, ensuring competence in our diverse team of experts and maintaining the impartiality of the decision-making process. Accredited certification to recognised national or international standards provides organisations with a credible means of managing risk, improving efficiency, encouraging continual improvement and enhancing competitiveness.
LRQA offers around 500 products, many under accreditation or scheme approval, in addition to providing special scheme certification and one-off audit assessments tailored to specific client needs.
We are accredited or approved by a range of globally recognised accreditation bodies and scheme owners:

Please note: Lloyd's Register's Business Assurance & Inspection Services division is now trading as LRQA. Our accreditations are granted by accreditation bodies with defined sector and geographic scopes. If you would like more information about these, you can request detailed scopes of accreditation from your nearest LRQA office to confirm the accreditations available to you.
Independent and impartial
The markets served by LRQA value our services for their integrity. Critical to this is the need to recognise any potential conflicts of interest in the services provided and to take action to ensure these do not adversely impact on the impartiality, independence and objectivity of our actions.
We maintain our independence and impartiality by pro-actively managing conflicts of interest across all LRQA businesses including those which may exist between consultancy and third-party certification services. We will not offer consultancy services for any management system that is in the process of or has completed accredited third-party certification with LRQA. Further, if we are already providing consultancy services relating to a management system, we will not offer any accredited third-party assessment services.
Refusal of certification
If at the quoting and contracting stage, or during the process of certification LRQA is unable to grant certification, the reason for this decision will be communicated to your organisation.
