The International Association of Classification Societies is a non-governmental organization that cooperates with classification societies of various countries to pursue global ship safety and clean marine environment using technical support, testing certification and development research. More than 90% of the world's ships carrying cargo are carried by ships designed, built and certified by the association to meet the safety standards and maritime regulations set by the association.
