Type Approval provides confidence that your selected vendors and suppliers are capable of providing the required standard of product components that a project requires.
Why Type Approval?
Type Approval ensures your products meet the rigorous demands placed upon them and that the certification process is seamless. We will use our technical expertise and capability to guide you and support your people and technology. We can also help pre-assess products before you present your application, saving time and costs with all documents in one place.
We draw on our industry expertise to ensure your products conform to recognised industry quality standards, international conventions, as well as LR class requirements.
Once TA has been achieved, you can use Approval Marks to promote compliance on packaging, product and promotional literature. The approval mark can be requested directly from tass@lr.org or from the LR office that carried out the certification. TA products are listed on the LR List of Type Approved Products and can be searched by product, certificate number, country and producer, giving you access to worldwide markets.
