The European Commission has adopted a decision granting recognition to the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 391/2009 of the European Parliament. With this, IRClass joins the elite group of classification societies recognized by the EU.
This recognition confirms IRClass as meeting the stringent EU requirements and having a performant and well-established quality system in place, certified as compliant with relevant statutory and industry standards, currently implemented throughout the organisation.
The approval paves the way for IRClass to access the European market. IRClass Executive Chairman Arun Sharma said:
“This is a significant step for IRClass in its long-term goal of becoming one of the world’s leading global classification societies. I would like to thank all my colleagues and staff at the Indian Register who have worked hard towards this achievement.”
