The issue is that there were not enough lifeboats. The Board of Trade regulations specified how many lifeboats must be carried on all types of ship, and the maximum size of ship listed was 10,000 tons. So the 46,000-ton Titanic had enough lifeboats for a 10,000-ton ship, which was enough to satisfy the regulations. They knew that but they said the Titanic was unsinkable and therefore would act as its own lifeboat.
