This month we sit down with Lars Lange, IUMI Secretary General, to discuss the International Quality Assessment Review Body (IQARB). IQARB is an advisory body that has been established to review the certification process of the quality management systems of IACS Classification Societies. As chair of the body, Lars discusses the background of IQARB, the role of IMO and flag states in the body, its benefits to IUMI, and what the future of the programme holds.
