PRI Certification History
About PRI Certification– Management Systems Certification
In 2024, we introduced our new name - PRI Certification to replace the legacy PRI Registrar brand that has been part of PRI for 30 years.
Since 1995, Performance Review Institute Registrar, a management systems certification body, has helped a multitude of organizations achieve and realize their true potential through the development of management systems and management systems certification. As an affiliate of SAE International – a technical society serving the global mobility industry since the early 1900s – PRI Certification is a not-for-profit organization, uniquely motivated with a mission and commitment to raise the bar in any industry it serves.
From its world headquarters on the SAE International campus in Warrendale, Pennsylvania USA, PRI Certification partners with organizations globally, employing an array of specialized auditors with experience in aerospace (AS9100, AS9110, AS9120), quality (ISO 9001), data security (ISO 27001), environmental (ISO 14001) and safety (ISO 45001) management system industries.
To further our mission to enhance value for our customers, on March 31, 2023, PRI acquired SRI Quality System Registrar, an international assessment and certification body accredited by ANAB, RvA, IATF, and ResponsibleSteel™ to assess and assist in conformance to quality, sustainability, information security, and other international standards. Founded in 1991 to support the steel industry quality initiatives, SRI has grown to serve accredited certification needs of businesses in over 40 major industries across North America, Asia, and Europe.
In 2024, PRI acquired Platinum Registration and Management Certification of North America, "MCNA".
