In April 1996, CRT Laboratories, Inc. achieved ISO 9002:1994 registration for its quality system from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), further enhancing our commitment to quality for our clients. In addition, CRT Laboratories was one of three plastics laboratories in the country certified to ISO 9002:1994.

CRT Laboratories, Inc. quality system is certified to ISO-IEC 17025:2005 (Guide 25 requirements for laboratories) from The International Association for Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), in addition to a recent upgrade to ISO 9001:2008 achieved in August 2010 through Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

CRT Laboratories, Inc. is a certified ISO 9001:2008 Laboratory under File # 10000880 QM08; under the following scope of registration: "The provision of Mechanical, Chemical, and Thermal, Physical testing of Thermoplastic Resins, Finished Products, and Plumbing Fixtures."

CRT's quality system gives a foundation to:

• Provide timely results to clients.
• Enhance confidence in the accuracy of test results.
• Identify causes of problems and quickly implement a remedy.
• Ensure complete customer satisfaction

In addition to UL-ISO 9001:2008 certification, CRT Laboratories also retains certification to IAPMO-ISO-IEC 17025:2005) with International Association for Plumbing & Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). CRT Laboratories offers the very best laboratory services available to IAPMO listees for obtaining and maintaining product listings. Our quick response times, lead times and extensive knowledge of IAPMO requirements minimize the delay to get your products approved and on the market.

In order to continue to enhance the quality and depth of services offered, CRT Laboratories is pursuing additional accreditations with several agencies, including the Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute (GAI) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

In addition to our accreditations, CRT Laboratories, Inc. maintains memberships with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC), the Industrial Fabrics Association, International (IFAI), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) among others. CRT resides on several ASTM technical committees for plastics testing standards; this increases our understanding of the testing performed and further improves the accuracy of test results.

An online copy of a letter that appeared in ASTM's Standardization News is available; this letter clarifies some issues and misconceptions surrounding the value of ISO 9000 registration expressed in previous issues of the magazine--particularly for a small company.
