7.1.1 This certification
scheme is applicable to both individual and series produced items
manufactured under closely controlled conditions and will be restricted
to works where the employment of quality control procedures is well
established. LR will have to be satisfied that the practices employed
will ensure that the quality of finished products is to standards
which would be demanded when using traditional survey techniques.
7.1.2 The Committee
will consider proposed designs for compliance with LR’s Rules
or other appropriate requirements and the extent to which the manufacturing
processes and control procedure ensure conformity of the product to
the design. A comprehensive survey will be made by the Surveyor of
the actual operation of the quality control programme and of the adequacy
and competence of the staff to implement it.
7.1.3 The procedures
and practices of manufacturers which have been granted approval will
be kept under review.
7.1.4 Approval
by another organization will not be accepted as sufficient evidence
that a manufacturer’s arrangements comply with LR’s requirements.
