Orion Registrar

What Orion Registrar does

Orion Registrar is a US-based ISO and industry-specific certification body, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Arvada, Colorado. In 2025 the company was consolidated, alongside ASR, CMA, Audit3, QSR, and the acquired ISA, under the Amtivo US brand as a subsidiary of Amtivo Group, an international certification and training organization. The company issues accredited certifications across quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), information security (ISO 27001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), medical devices (ISO 13485), IT service management (ISO 20000-1), and AI management (ISO 42001), as well as sector-specific schemes for aerospace (AS9100/9110/9120), automotive (IATF 16949), recycling (R2, e-Stewards, RIOS), chemicals (RCMS, RC 14001), wind energy (GWO), and electrostatic discharge (ANSI/ESD S20.20). All certifications are issued under ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) accreditation, which ensures worldwide recognition of the certificates.

The underlying technology is the certification and audit delivery process itself, executed by US-based expert auditors, supported by a Client Portal (QStar) that allows existing clients to track certification status and access documentation. The business is sales-led and quote-based, with revenue generated primarily from recurring multi-year audit cycles (initial certification, surveillance, and recertification) and from ISO training courses. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies with company size, location, and sector; the company highlights transparent pricing with no hidden admin or registration fees as a differentiator. Customer segments are diversified across US enterprises, with named customers spanning recycling (Sims Lifecycle Services, SK-Tes, ONP), environmental services (ENSA), and government (Denver Public Health and Environment). The company reports a 4.8/5 Feefo rating and a 94% client recommendation rate, and was awarded the Feefo Gold Trusted Service Award 2026.
