Golly! I hope they are not guilty of plagiarism. The weird part is that ASQ gives same ceu (or RU - recertification units) for a guy who publishes a small article in the Section newsletter as for a guy like Allan Sayle, who publishes a world-recognized textbook on a topic.

Recertification by RU credits is a simple process of obtaining a minimum of 18 recertification units (RUs) within your three-year certification period. You may accumulate the 18 RU credits from professional activities that either increase your knowledge of the Body of Knowledge (BOK) or is job enhancing.
To receive the employment RU credits, at least one area of your job duties, responsibilities, and/or functions must fall in at least one area of your certification(s) Body of Knowledge (BOK). Then other category activities must fall in either one area of the certification(s) BOK or be directly job enhancing.
