SRI Quality System Registrar

What SRI Quality System Registrar does

SRI Quality System Registrar, now operating as PRI Certification following its March 2023 acquisition by the Performance Review Institute, is an ANAB-, IATF-, and ResponsibleSteel-accredited third-party certification body. Founded in 1991 as Steel Related Industries Quality System Registrar, SRI issues management-system registration certificates across quality (ISO 9001), environmental (ISO 14001, ISO 14064-1, ISO 50001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), information security (ISO/IEC 27001, 27701, 20000-1), automotive (IATF 16949), aerospace (AS9100/9120), medical devices (ISO 13485), food safety (FSSC 22000), and sector ESG (ResponsibleSteel) standards for organizations in over 40 industries.

The company's primary asset is its auditor workforce: senior auditors averaging 25+ years of experience are explicitly cited as the core differentiator. Operations are supported by a proprietary client portal, e-Vents, built on the legacy Lotus Domino/Notes platform, which provides real-time audit scheduling, report access, corrective-action tracking, and role-based access across operating units and corporate quality functions. An additional tool, the IATF CARA NC Management module, supports standardized corrective-action responses for automotive clients. Training services (iQ Training / PRI Training) cover ISO interpretation, implementation, and internal auditing.

SRI generates revenue through a recurring, subscription-like model on 3-year certification cycles with annual surveillance audits, supplemented by project-based pre-assessment engagements and group training courses. Pricing is quote-based, varying with organization size, sites, scope, and standard, and proposals are typically delivered within two hours. Go-to-market is sales-led: enterprise field sales via phone (+1 724-934-9000), website quote requests, and direct in-region offices in the US (Warrendale, PA), Ireland, the UK, Japan, and China serve manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, IT, healthcare, and education clients. Customers include Big River Steel, ArcelorMittal Dofasco, PRO-TEC Coating, and Lehigh Career and Technical Institute.
