Certifications & Qualifications
Since its establishment in 2010, Liberty Drilling Equipment has operated under ISO 9001 quality management principles. In 2013, Liberty underwent a full certification audit conducted by Lloyds’ Register (later LRQA), based on the implemented systems and a proven history of designing, manufacturing, and installing high-quality equipment. Even prior to certification, independent client audits based on ISO 9001 standards qualified us for various projects.
LDE has continued to strengthen its quality assurance processes, including the development of in-house certified auditors to perform both internal and external audits.
In 2021, Liberty Drilling Equipment obtained the API 6A Monogram license. Allowing us to apply the official API monogram on the 6A products that we manufacture.
Having an API monogram licence requires compliance with the requirements of API Spec Q1. In 2024, Liberty took an official licence certification to API Spec Q1, further demonstrating our commitment to industry standard quality management.
Most recently, in 2025, our ISO 9001 certification was successfully transitioned from LRQA to API, aligning all our quality certifications under a single industry-recognized certifying body.
