Accreditation

TRA-CD is an accredited Registrar by ANSI-ASQ. National Accreditation Board (ANAB).

This program establishes standards of performance for TRA-CD and provides you the assurance that you’ll receive fair and objective consideration of your registration application. We are currently accredited to issue certificates for the following standards: ISO 9000, ISO 14001 and TL 9000. Others are available thru our cooperative partnership with NQA-USA.

Qualifications

Not all registrars are created equal; nor do they provide identical services. In the process of selecting a registrar, you should go beyond a cursory review of credentials.

Our objective is to establish a partnership that builds on open, honest communications and added value to your business. For this reason, we assign only lead auditors that are experienced in the field of your operation.

In addition to accreditation, we invite you to compare our services in the critical areas listed below:

Reliability

Is the Registrar sensitive to your timetable, special requirements, and budgets?

TRA Certification pledges to provide you with straight forward facts about registration requirements and critical lead times. We are always up-front about our services, fees, and we offer competitive rates.

Experience

What experience does the auditor offer in terms of evaluating quality management systems?

For over 15 years we’ve been involved in evaluation of quality systems. Our experienced staff has broad and varied background in various industries. Their knowledge and experience is based on formal education, practical work experience, and continuous professional development.

Responsiveness

How eager is the registrar to help you achieve registration?

Responsiveness is actually easy to measure. Simply contact our clients for which we have provided registration services. We invite this type of investigation. Any company on the Client List may be called.

“When it comes to ISO Certification – TRA-CD is the only company you need to know.”

Your registrar should be there to help you over the hurdles.

Industry Involvement

TRA Certification supports the development of quality and environmental management standards and sector schemes. We do so through service on several local, national, and international committees as well as membership in a variety of industry associations.
