Type Approval Independent product verification from Lloyd’s Register
Type Approval from Lloyd’s Register (LR) demonstrates that your product conforms to recognised industry quality standards and/or the LR Rules, through a process of independent design review, sample testing and verification of production controls. When you achieve LR Type Approval, you benefit from more than 250 years of technical excellence, inspiring confidence in your customers, investors and suppliers that you and your product comply with best practice. How can Lloyd’s Register’s Type Approval help you? LR Type Approval provides an efficient alternative to certifying identical products individually. It can be tailored to your product and business needs. It is available for a wide range of products used in marine and offshore applications, industrial plant and processes, and the information technology sector. We work with you right from the beginning, identifying any areas that may need attention. If required, we can also help pre-assess the product before you present your application
for Type Approval. This helps save time and cost and ensures that all the relevant documentation is in place. Type Approval also provides confidence that your selected vendors and suppliers are capable of providing the required standard of product components. Once you have achieved Lloyd’s Register Type Approval, you can use the LR Type Approval mark (right) to promote your compliance, on your packaging, in promotional literature or on the product itself. This can be used for all products credited on the Type Approval Certificate.
Your product will also be listed in the LR List of Type Approved Products, available at www.lr.org/typeapproval, providing you with access to worldwide markets. The list can be searched by product, certificate number, country and producer.
