About PJR
Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. – A Brief History
Originally founded by Perry L. Johnson in 1994, Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. has been at the forefront of the international certification and registration industry from the very beginning. Mr. Johnson, having seen the impact of ISO certification on industry in Europe, was inspired to bring those now-ubiquitous standards to the United States. After achieving ANAB accreditation shortly after PJR’s creation in 1995, PJR’s first venture into international business came with a 1999 expansion into the Japanese and Brazilian markets. The early 2000’s would see further growth overseas, with offices opening in Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Canada, Latin America, and Thailand. During this time PJR also attained UKAS accreditation. In more recent years, PJR has continued broadening its international horizons with offices in the United Kingdom and China.
A Word About Conflict of Interest
PJR takes great measure to ensure that no conflicts of interest occur. In order to maintain our accreditation, PJR must comply with a number of documents, all of which contain clear conflict of interest clauses: EN 45012, General Criteria for Certification Bodies Operating Quality System Certification; ANSI-ASQ Criteria for Accreditation; ISO/IEC 17021-1, Conformity Assessment – Requirements for Bodies Providing Audit and Certification of Management Systems, Guidelines for Quality and/or Environmental Management Systems Auditing. Failure to comply would result in the loss of our accreditation certificates. In addition, according to PJR by-laws, its employees, subcontractors and auditors cannot engage in any activities that may constitute or be reasonably perceived to constitute a conflict of interest with PJR’s registration services for any client.
