Hi gang,

My company is taking adventerous steps into the realm of ISO 14001 and we are curious as to who to use with respect to a registrar. We currently use SGS for our ISO/TS 16949 and are investigating the possibility if they offer environmental external auditing as well.

Has anyone out there had a particular CB that they enjoyed working with for ISO 14001 certification? Or conversely, is there someone I need to avoid? (though I don't know if it is ok on here or to to voice that).

Thanks everyone,
David

Re: Got any suggestions for an ISO 14001 Registrar?

Just a suggestion and understand that I work for a competitor of SGS (BSI) and would love to have your business, but stay with them if you have no real reason to go elsewhere. You'll get excellant service for you EMS registration and they are very well capable of doing the work

(Of course I may have trained the auditor, it's been know to happen:lol:)

In a similar position to Randy working for a competitor (NQA), I'd have to agree.

Working with a CB is a partnership and there are benefits to having one work up a package of combining audits, even if the TS and 14K systems aren't integrated. Of course, it's also worth looking at what else there is available to you,maybe compare quotes etc. - you aren't married to them, so it's not like cheating...........;)

I don't have any ties to anyone.

I think the advice given is sound. Viz: it's worthwhile having the same body do both/all certifications (you can get a better deal). So if you're happy with your current one, good argument to stay. But yes, it's also worth looking to see if there's anything better on offer. But don't make the decision on rock bottom cheapest - it's usually 'worth' what you pay.
