Questions about this service

What is a Type A inspection body?
A fully independent third-party inspection body that has no involvement in the design, manufacture, supply, ownership or maintenance of the items it inspects.
Are inspection reports recognised internationally?
Yes. Reports from an ISO/IEC 17020-accredited body are recognised under ILAC arrangements, increasing acceptance by regulators, clients and international markets.
How often are inspections required?
It depends on regulation and client requirements. Some are one-off (pre-shipment) while others are periodic, for example annual or quarterly lifting-gear inspections.
