International codes and standards support

The world of manufacturing regulations, codes, and standards can be complex and difficult to navigate. Every country has its own requirements, and the company who doesn't know what's required before bidding on a project is the company most at risk.

Browsing through LRQA's interactive pressure equipment regulations map alone, you can see how many different regulations are involved - and that's just for pressure equipment.

Around the world, many of our customers ask the same two questions: What standards and codes apply to a certain project, and how can we meet those requirements?
