ISO 9001:2000 (Quality)
Quality Management System (QMS) registration is the formalized
process by which a quality management system is assessed against
an accepted standard such as the ISO 9001:2000 series.
It includes a review of an organization's documented quality management
system and ongoing audits of the facility to ensure the quality
management system has been implemented and is effective.
In many cases, implementing a quality management system means changing
operations to reduce wasted time and effort, to define improvements
and to maximize the value of investment.
 Using
a quality management system is a key component in achieving this
value in today's global market place.
CGSB Quality Managment System Registration assessment provides
you with a clear, recognized process to increase and demonstrate
your organization's quality. It confirms that your quality system
is working, and that you can provide goods and services to consistently
meet client's specifications.
Accreditation
CGSB is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (Canada's
ISO member) according to their document CAN-P-10 (Criteria for
Accreditation of Organizations Registering Quality Systems)
The CGSB Quality Management System Registration program is built
upon the ISO 10011 series of international standards for auditing,
auditor qualification and auditing programs.
International Acceptance
CGSB is recognized across Canada and internationally as an accredited
registration organization.
In August 1997, The Standards Council of Canada, the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Registrar Accreditation Board
(RAB) signed a five-year mutual recognition agreement for their
ISO 9001:2000 quality system accreditation programs. The agreement means
that the Canadian and U.S. accreditation bodies will recognize each
other's accredited registrars as equivalent and equally competent
to register ISO 9001:2000 quality management systems. The agreement's
objective is to facilitate the wider acceptance of registrations
and reduce the need for registration organizations to hold multiple
accreditations.
The Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) and the Registrar Accreditation Board (RAB) have
signed a mutual recognition agreement for their ISO 9001:2000 quality
system accreditation programs. This agreement means that CGSB, as
an accreditation body, will be recognized as equivalent and equally
competent to register ISO 9001:2000 quality management systems.
CGSB also has Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the National
Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI), Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) in the United States and the Standards and Industrial Research
