Transfer to LRQA
Your business deserves a partner that works the way you do
In the wrong place? Transfer to LRQA for confident risk management solutions.
If your current provider feels like more work than support, it may be time to transfer. LRQA makes that move simple. We take on the effort, bring clarity to your system and give you the visibility and consistency you need across every site and supplier.
Whether you need a clean certificate transfer or broader support to strengthen governance and risk management, we work with you from day one to keep things moving without disruption.
With LRQA, you gain clearer visibility across your operations – from a single site to multiple locations and wider supplier networks. You get consistent governance through standardised auditing and reliable resourcing. You can also reduce cost through smarter auditing and consolidated management. We manage expiry dates and coordinate your transfer, so your teams can stay focused on the work that matters.
Confidence needs the right partner – start with LRQA.
Three paths to better risk management
Whether you want a simple transfer or a more strategic programme, LRQA keeps the process predictable and low effort.
Seamless certificate transfer
If you're ready for a smooth transfer of your accredited certifications, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, GFSI or industry-specific standards, our streamlined process makes it straightforward. Our team reviews your current certification, conducts your next audit and issues your new certificate. We manage dates, logistics and next steps so you stay compliant without disruption.
Tailored programmes for advanced risk management
Sometimes the transfer is not just about the certificate. It is about the programme behind it. In those cases, the scope is broader – but the goal is the same: controlled transfer, improved delivery and risk management you can trust. LRQA can support the transfer and ongoing management of programmes that extend beyond traditional certification.
Build strength through an integrated management system
Bring your certifications together under one coordinated audit plan. Whether you already hold multiple ISO standards with different providers or are planning to expand, LRQA helps you consolidate. One assessor, one schedule and one aligned system. The result is less duplication, smoother operations and a more efficient way to manage risk and performance.
Why organisations transfer to LRQA
Organisations transfer to LRQA for a partner who strengthens risk management while reducing effort. They gain better visibility across sites and suppliers, more consistent governance, lower cost through integrated audits and consolidated management and the confidence that their system is performing as it should.

McDonald's
Food safety partner
"It takes years to build our reputation and only seconds to lose it. At McDonald’s, safe food has always been our promise and that commitment cannot be compromised. That’s why I value the way LRQA helps us turn risk into opportunity. They bring not only deep expertise in food safety but also a unique way of connecting the dots - taking insights from other industries and showing how they apply to ours. The risks may look different on the surface, but the principles are the same, and LRQA helps us use that perspective to strengthen trust in our brand every day."
