# Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. - **Type:** Certification body - **Website:** https://www.pjr.com - **Assessed by:** The Assurance Desk (Add-Venture Advisory Ltd) A US certification body for ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 13485, AS9100, IATF 16949 and FSSC 22000. It also lists ISO/IEC 42001 but names no accreditor for it. ## Perry Johnson Registrars scores Scored 1 to 5 on six criteria. There is no overall score. ### Help when things go wrong: 1/5 No published record of certificate suspension or withdrawal action, and no regulatory-defence history of any kind, appears anywhere in the fact-set. ### Qualifications of the people who do the work: 3/5 Five accreditation bodies named (ANAB, UKAS, ACCREDIA, JAB, EMA) but not mapped to specific standards; ISO/IEC 42001 scope itself is unconfirmed, not independently verified. ### What it publishes about fees: 1/5 No price list, fee ranges, or worked examples published anywhere on pjr.com; fees are set privately per organisation via a quote-request form only. ### Knowledge of your sector: 2/5 ISO 42001 listed as an offered certification service, but no scope statement, accreditation-body reference, certificate number, or named client case study evidences actual delivered practice. ### Independence from what it sells: 3/5 Published 2-year consulting/training separation clause (3.3) is a real safeguard, but PJR also sells its own paid standards training courses, an adjacent commercial relationship. ### Who carries the risk if the advice is wrong: 2/5 Liability is capped at fees paid for the service (clause 7.3), but PJR's own PI insurance carrier or coverage limit is never publicly disclosed, only privately on request. ## Sources for Perry Johnson Registrars Every line carries the page it was read on and the date it was checked. - PJR states it is accredited by ANAB, UKAS, ACCREDIA (Italy), JAB (Japan) and EMA (Mexico) across a broad slate of management-system standards, but does not itemize which body accredits which standard on this page. - Source: https://www.pjr.com/about-pjr/accreditations - Checked: 2026-09-20 - OpenCorporates lists a Michigan-registered entity named PERRY JOHNSON REGISTRARS, INC. with company number 800506233, matching PJR's Troy, MI address and legal name. - Source: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_mi/800506233 - Checked: 2026-09-20 - PJR's published Terms and Conditions (Form F-3tc, Rev 7.5) bar PJR 'or its related bodies' from certifying any site they gave management-systems consulting or site-specific auditor training to within the prior two years. - Source: https://www.pjr.com/downloads/F-3tc-75.pdf - Checked: 2026-09-20 - PJR's Terms and Conditions cap its own liability at the amount the client actually paid for the specific service and exclude indirect/consequential damages. - Source: https://www.pjr.com/downloads/F-3tc-75.pdf - Checked: 2026-09-20 - PJR publishes downloadable Complaint Procedure (PRO-9) and Dispute/Appeal Procedure (PRO-10) documents rather than only describing a complaints process in prose. - Source: https://www.pjr.com/registration-document-download - Checked: 2026-09-20 - BBB lists PJR as A+ rated but not BBB-accredited, with the business established in 1996 per BBB (PJR's own site and its T&C form, issued 11/94, imply 1994). - Source: https://www.bbb.org/us/mi/troy/profile/content-management-system/perry-johnson-registrars-inc-0372-90022457 - Checked: 2026-09-20 ## What this provider publishes Not published means we did not find it on the firm's own pages. - Price: Not published - Indemnity cover: Not published - Credentials: Published - Independent accreditation: Published - Client results: Not published - How it uses AI: Not published ## Strengths - Published, contractually binding impartiality safeguard: Terms and Conditions clause 3.3 bars PJR and related bodies from certifying a site they consulted for or trained within the prior two years, and clause 4.14 bars consultants from being on-site during IATF 16949 audits. - Publishes actual downloadable procedure documents (Complaint Procedure PRO-9, Dispute/Appeal Procedure PRO-10, full Terms and Conditions) rather than only summary policy statements. - Broad, long-established accreditation footprint (self-reported: ANAB, UKAS, ACCREDIA, JAB, EMA) across many management-system standards including ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 13485, AS9100, IATF 16949 and FSSC 22000, with PJR describing itself as operating as an accredited registrar since 1994. ## Things to check Each one carries the factual basis it rests on. - PJR lists ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems) as a certification service on its Standards page, but neither that page nor its Accreditations page states it currently holds ANAB (or any other body's) accreditation specifically for ISO/IEC 42001, independent verification via ANAB's own public directory could not be obtained (register blocked, see blockers), so this scope should be treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed. - Basis: https://www.pjr.com/standards/iso-42001 and https://www.pjr.com/about-pjr/accreditations (fetched 2026-09-20); ANAB directory lookup blocked. - Fees are set in a separate schedule for each client. Ask for this before signing the contract. - Basis: https://www.pjr.com/downloads/F-3tc-75.pdf clause 6.1; https://www.pjr.com/contact-us/free-quotation (fetched 2026-09-20). - PJR sells its own paid online standards training courses (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001 clause-by-clause and transition training) alongside certification; the 2-year separation rule addresses direct conflicts of interest but does not remove the adjacent commercial relationship. - Basis: https://www.pjr.com/training (fetched 2026-09-20). - No public disclosure of PJR's own professional-indemnity/liability insurance carrier or coverage limit was found; the Terms and Conditions only require both parties to maintain unspecified 'sufficient' insurance and let PJR ask for proof privately. - Basis: https://www.pjr.com/downloads/F-3tc-75.pdf clause 7.5 (fetched 2026-09-20). ## Where this firm appears - [Can the firm that prepares you also certify you?](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/certification-seeking) - [Does the EU AI Act apply to a UK firm?](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/eu-ai-act-exposed) - [Your sector adds its own rules to UK data protection law](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/sector-regulated) - [Compare providers](https://theassurancedesk.com/compare) --- **Scope.** The Assurance Desk covers data protection, AI governance and cyber security in the United Kingdom and the United States.
