The International Quality Assessment Review Body (IQARB) is due to update IMO Member States on its work supporting States to fulfil their obligations under IMO mandatory instruments. An online lunchtime presentation on Thursday 28 November, held during IMO's Sub-Committee on Implementation of IMO Instruments (III), will take place for participating Member States.
The IQARB is an advisory and a non-decision-making body, established in 2019 to review the certification process of the quality management systems of IACS classification societies.
The body is composed of qualified individuals from maritime authorities, the IMO Secretariat and industry bodies - including those from the insurance industry, shipowners and shipbuilders. These, collectively, are representative of the views and interests of the stakeholders that have a particular interest in the work of classification societies and recognized organizations (ROs).
