CANMET Mining and Mineral Sciences Laboratories - certification

The CANMET-MMSL quality system was officially registered to ISO 9002 by the Quality Management Institute on October 16, 2000. CANMET-MMSL is the first research unit at the full division level as well as the first with multiple sites in Natural Resources Canada to achieve registration. CANMET-MMSL upgraded its quality system to ISO 9001:2000 in December 2003. The ISO 9001:2000 registration banner that graces all CANMET-MMSL sites serves as a source of pride to employees as well as an indicator to clients of our commitment to quality. Registration of the ISO 9001:2000 CANMET-MMSL quality system is an important step on the road to continuous improvement.
