Management Systems Certification

Management standards for sustainability

Germanischer Lloyd System Certification offers certification of a large variety of management systems in the fields of quality, the environment, health and safety as well as in the maritime sector.

Please find here a product flyer (PDF) with an overview of the standards we offer.

Quality Management

The management system certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 proves that a company is working diligently to establish quality and performance objectives. ISO 9001:2008 contains a commitment to continuous improvement and a process-orientated approach.

Maritime Standards

Prove that you comply with international standards of security and safety. GL provides certification services for shipping companies, Marine Administrations and Marine Training Institutions.

Environment Management

More and more, organisations are required to demonstrate a sound management of economic, social and environmental issues to ensure sustainable development. Outlining the requirements for an environmental management system, a certification according to ISO 14001 covers all the environmental activities of your organisation, helping to minimise negative effects on the environment and to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Energy Management

In times of increasing energy costs and decrescent resources an efficient use of energy becomes more and more important for all industries and all energy consumers in general. Energy management systems can either be integrated in existing management systems or they can be implemented independently.

Safety & Security Management

Compatible with the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, BS OHSAS 18001 stands for an implemented occupational health and safety management system. The certification helps to identify hazards and to evaluate and control risks. Furthermore, lost work days, accidents and medical claims are reduced, while recognition by insurers and employee satisfaction are improved. To better control risks in the overall transport process, mitigate losses and prevent disruptions, we also offer certification according to ISO 28000.

Sector specific solutions and Integrated Management systems

In order to increase supply chain security, GLC certifies transport and logistics companies according to the FSR (Freight Security Requirements) of TAPA, the Technology Asset Protection Association. Further standards aiming at improving supply chain management include the CCQI (Cool Chain Quality Indicator) and the CTQI (Container Terminal Quality Indicator), a benchmarking tool for container terminals. Both standards were co-developed by GL.
