Maritime Labour Certificate is mandatory, since 20^th August 2013, for all ships 500 gross tonnage and above, making international voyages. Ships from non-ratified MLC countries when visiting ports in a ratified MLC country, may be subjected to inspection on the basis of “No Favourable Treatment”.

We are a competent and reliable recognized organization [a member of International Association of Classification Society (IACS)], for efficient inspections and effective certification for compliance with MLC, 2006.

With our worldwide network of Survey Stations, and with our commitment to fast processing time, we ensure that the process of your MLC certification is handled effectively.

To ensure fast processing time, we have established a complete online system for making MLC inspection request on our website: www.irclass.org. Further, all the processing is done online and the Interim MLC Certificate / Interim MLC Statement of Compliance or Short Term MLC Certificate / Short Term MLC Statement of Compliance is issued immediately upon satisfactory completion of the MLC inspection.
