Originally founded by Perry L. Johnson in 1994, Perry Johnson Registrars has been at the forefront of the international certification and registration industry from the very beginning. Mr. Johnson, having seen the impact of ISO certification on industry in Europe, was inspired to bring those now-ubiquitous standards to the United States. After achieving ANAB accreditation shortly after PJR’s creation in 1995, PJR’s first venture into international business came with a 1999 expansion into the Japanese and Brazilian markets. The early 2000’s would see further growth overseas, with offices opening in Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Canada, Latin America, and Thailand. During this time PJR also attained UKAS accreditation. In more recent years, PJR has continued broadening its international horizons with offices in the United Kingdom and China.  Perry L. Johnson, founder of Perry Johnson Registrars, is one of the world’s foremost authorities in quality, having written more than 15 manuals covering topics from Total Quality Management to Statistical Process Control and ISO/QS-9000. Johnson’s first book on ISO 9000, ISO 9000: Meeting the International Standards, published by McGraw-Hill, has been a best-seller, and is now in its second edition.  Johnson holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana, and pursued a graduate program in clinical psychology at the University of Detroit. Mr. Johnson is the author of the best-selling definitive text on international quality standards and certification, ISO 9000: Meeting the New International Standards (McGraw-Hill, 1993), now in its second edition as ISO 9000: Meeting the International Standards (McGraw-Hill, 1997); the breakthrough text, Keeping Score: Strategies and Tactics for Winning the Quality War (Harper Collins, 1989); ISO 14000 Road Map to Registration (McGraw-Hill, 1997); ISO 14000: The Business Manager’s Complete Guide to Environmental Management (John Wiley & Sons, 1997) and the ISO/QS-9000 Yearbook: 1998 (McGraw-Hill, 1998).  Johnson is also the founder and president of Perry Johnson, Inc.
