IRS is proud to be associated with Defence Industry in indigenisation of various equipment in accordance with the call given by Hon’ble Prime Minister for “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self Reliant India). IRS provides a full range of Classification and Certification services to Shipyards, building ships and craft for the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard and other Defence and Paramilitary forces, and to the industries supplying materials, machinery and equipment for these vessels. Several of these vessels are also maintained in IR Class after delivery.
More than 300 vessels and numerous auxiliary crafts have already been built under IRS Classification for the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, Border Security Force, National Disaster Relief Force and other Government agencies.
IRS is also certifying machinery and equipment, procured from oversees and Indian manufacturers, as per class rules and also ensuring that all specific requirements of the shipyards and shipowners are also complied with.
Advanced Technical Studies and Analyses are also being carried out by qualified and experienced personnel for verifying specific design requirements, including strength, vibration, stability and for minimising acoustic, magnetic, infrared and radar signatures.
