The Indian government has approved Lloyd’s Register Energy to provide certification services for the Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) 1950 in all Indian states except in Jammu and Kashmir. Lloyd’s Register Energy has become an international ‘one stop shop’ for Indian Boiler Regulation (IBR) services to provide full lifecycle IBR services inside and outside India.
“This approval by the Indian Central Boilers Board is proof that Lloyd’s Register Energy is recognised as a trusted independent Inspection Authority by the Indian government to carry out quality certification services. It is also testament to the commitment and hard work of our Inspection Technical team in India led by Partha Brahma,” says Peter Staton, Head of Technical & Quality Management at Lloyd’s Register Energy.
Most of the boilers and boiler parts and spares installed in India must comply with the IBR. The regulations contain rules for the design, construction, workmanship, procurement of materials, and inspection of boilers. In 2011, Lloyd’s Register Energy was authorised for 2 states in India and that was recently extended to 11 states. It is also authorised to provide global approval to certify manufactured equipment and components.
