American Global Standards (AGS) announces its new, exclusive Virtual Cert^TM Program for ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 certification.

The reason for developing this program is simple: to save our customers thousands of dollars annually and top manager's valuable time. Total cost of Virtual Cert^TM is $500.00 per year.

We realize in today's market place, the value of ISO 9001 certification varies from company to company, for some it is a requirement to do business, for the others its value has been minimized as competitors have become certified.

HOW VIRTUAL CERT^TM WORKS:

The AGS Virtual Cert^TM program is based on the "honor system." Customers will be issued certificates good for three years based upon their existing certification and annual review by AGS of their Internal Audit & Management Review Meeting Summaries. No onsite audit is required.

AGS will likely visit your facility at its expense, not the customers, at least once in the three year certification period. This visit is to confirm implementation of the clients system and is not a time consuming, "non-value added" exercise.

AGS is accredited by the American International Accreditation Organization, Bureau of Accredited Registrars (AIAO-BAR) an independent, not-for-profit organization with the same authority as any other accreditation body. AIAO has accredited registration in Europe, Japan, Korea, India and the United States.

AGS Virtual Cert^TM is a cost effective and viable alternate to the "policeman" approach of other registrars. Feel free to contact AGS if you have any questions.
