Bureau Veritas Announces UKAS Accreditation for EU MRV Services
Bureau Veritas today announced that it has gained accreditation from United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) to carry out assessments and verifications for compliance with the European Union (EU) Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulation.
As Ship & Bunker has reported, the MRV regulation requires shipping companies to submit ship-specific monitoring plans to verifiers for approval by the end of August 2017, with per-voyage monitoring set to start on January 1, 2018.
"As a leader in both regulatory compliance and environmental performance services for the marine industry, Bureau Veritas has a deep understanding of EU MRV and the challenges it brings," said Patrick Le Dily, Vice President for Legal Compliance & Regulatory Management at Bureau Veritas.
"UKAS accreditation combined with our worldwide organization and network of EU Maritime MRV Verifiers enables us to help clients meet the deadlines for compliance through timely approval of monitoring plans and future verification of monitoring reports."
