Business Wire
Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BRSI), a
manufacturer of whole-aircraft emergency parachute systems,
announced today that its South St. Paul Headquarters location had
received its official Certificate of Registration from the
independent auditor BSI Management Systems indicating its Quality
Management System complies with all requirements of the
internationally-recognized ISO 9001:2000 quality standard.
Specifically, BRS�s Quality System meets or exceeds the ISO quality
requirements for �the design, manufacture, assembly, and service of
aerospace and safety products,� according to the accreditation
organization. �This is a huge step forward for BRS,� said CEO and
President, Larry Williams. �Receiving formal recognition, via ISO
9001 certification, is the culmination of months of hard work by
everyone in our organization to standardize and document the
already high standards we have always been known for. In the end,
ISO certification wasn�t difficult since we didn�t have to create a
new system�rather, we simply had to fully document the processes we
have consistently been using for years,� Williams added. Receiving
ISO 9001 recognition is a significant strategic milestone for any
organization adopting a process approach to product design,
manufacture, and service. The BRS certification strategy emphasized
the importance of: a quality system that is focused on driving
customer satisfaction; a set of procedures that cover all key
processes in the business; monitoring processes to ensure they are
effective; keeping adequate traceability records; checking output
for defects, with appropriate and corrective action where
necessary; regularly reviewing individual processes and the quality
system itself for effectiveness; and facilitating continual
improvement �Having a Quality Management System which complies with
ISO 9001:2000 provides BRS with a unique opportunity to more fully
compete for all types of bids, especially in the defense arena and
international marketplace, where achievement of such recognition is
increasingly becoming the standard and a determinant of ultimate
success,� emphasized BRS Quality Manager, Dave Reiner. This
Headquarters certification follows the successful ISO 9001
certification of BRS�s Tijuana, Mexico manufacturing facility
achieved last year at this time. About Ballistic Recovery Systems
