Lloyd's Register's reputation for impartiality is renowned worldwide, and LRQA has inherited the same reputation in the assessment of management systems. 
 
Worldwide Offices
Operating in over 120 countries, LRQA has over 40 offices worldwide and continues to expand this number annually. 

Highly Trained Assessors
Our reputation in management systems certification is built firmly on the professionalism and expertise of our assessment personnel. This reputation is maintained by investing in our assessors at a level unprecedented in the management systems community. Our selection process is rigorous to ensure consistency of interpretation and maintenance of skills, and all LRQA assessors must achieve RABQSA and/or IRCA Lead Status.

Independent and Impartial
The markets served by LRQA value our services for their integrity. Critical to this is the need to recognize 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 our actions.

As part of its on-going commitment to impartiality, the top management of LRQA has requested its independent advisory board, the LRQA General Technical Committee, to undertake the role of impartiality committee. LRQA routinely identifies and analyses the possibilities for conflict of interest arising from its relationships and the delivery of its assessment, verification and certification services. Where threats of impartiality are identified the provisions to eliminate or minimize such threats are documented along with data demonstrating their on-going effectiveness. These are made available to the LRQA GTC for consideration as part of their periodic review of the impartiality of the audit, certification and decision making processes of LRQA.

To date, we currently hold accreditation from the following accreditation bodies.
