Who we are

Warehouse Registration Service Ltd is an independent inspection body dedicated to promoting high standards in soft commodity warehousing.

Inspections are conducted by trained inspectors drawn from supervisor companies within the commodity sector and overseen by the Secretariat Inspectors to ensure consistency and independence.

By assessing warehouse infrastructure, operational practices, and storage conditions, the service helps ensure facilities storing commodities meet appropriate standards for safe and reliable storage.

Our mission

Warehouse Registration Service Ltd provides a recognised framework for assessing the suitability of warehouses storing specific soft commodities.

Through independent inspection and annual certification, we establish a standard on which warehousekeepers, financiers, insurers, and other market participants can confidently rely.

Each commodity is assessed against commodity-specific criteria, reflecting differing storage requirements across sectors. By maintaining clear separation between commodities, we uphold the integrity of the registration process and support broad industry acceptance.

Registered facilities are formally listed under WRS, ensuring transparent recognition of compliant operators.
