Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, Inc. Now Available as Accredited SEP Verification Body

The U.S. Department of Energy is pleased to announce that Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, Inc.  (LRQA) is now a fully accredited Verification Body for Superior Energy Performance® (SEP™). This ANSI-ANAB accreditation enables LRQA to provide third-party verification for industrial facilities that wish to demonstrate energy management excellence and sustained energy savings to earn SEP certification.

“Increased global concerns about energy and sustainability have prompted organizations to adopt an internationally recognized business process for continually improving energy performance such as ISO 50001. SEP goes further by providing significant potential for achieving greater energy efficiency by motivating management to identify and implement additional energy optimization opportunities while keeping their cost at a minimum. This accreditation demonstrates our capabilities and commitment to helping our clients ensure maximum energy performance while safeguarding the quality of their products, processes and services.” says Chris Koci, President of LRQA, Inc.

SEP Verification Bodies determine whether a facility meets the SEP certification requirements based on a two-stage audit process. ANSI-ANAB is the only accreditation body that approves SEP Verification Bodies.
