Not that I know of -- but that doesn't mean none have registered.

I would call a few registrars and see what they have to say.

Another possibility would be to go a site like Quality Digest Magazine and search by the relevent SIC code. In your case, probably 3911 (Jewelery, Precious Metal)or 3915 (Jeweler's Findings and Materials).

This site usually seems incomplete and lagging behind, but it's the only free search site I'm aware of. Does anyone have others they could share?

Best of luck.

I know this is an old thread, but with respect to the recent thread about ISO 9001 in educational institutions, I figured I'd 'bump' it as curious. I had inqueries about ISO implementation in educational institutions for years. Universities, colleges, high schools. World-wide. I believe there are some early threads in these forums - maybe imported from the old UBB forum software - where educational institutions were asking questions. Or maybe even back in the 'Old Forums' (the pre- June 1998 WebBBS text forums). I definitely remember e-mails about quotes for educational institution implementation projects in the late 1990's. But I don't ever remember anything like this.

Comments?

Let me put it this way....I am in the process of planning a trip that will take me about 150 miles North of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada to a Diamond Mine that is 9K & 14K registered.

I supposed to do some internal auditor training up there in May.
