ISO 9001 certification in Montreal at a glance
Montreal suppliers are examined in two languages and by buyers across several industries. An aerospace machine shop is checked by prime manufacturers, an AI software firm by corporate procurement, a forwarder by the shipper and a laboratory by research partners. ISO 9001 is the common denominator: it asks for process thinking, customer focus, risk-based planning, competent people, internal audit, management review and continual improvement. It also underpins AS9100 and ISO 13485. Montreal organisations choose the audit language with the certification body at application. Sterling's Toronto office serves Montreal firms and builds the system with Effivity; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 9001 in Montreal: questions clients ask
Does ISO 9001 come before AS9100 for a Montreal supplier?
Usually, since AS9100 builds on ISO 9001 and adds aerospace requirements. Many Montreal suppliers certify to ISO 9001 first, win work, and then step up when a prime asks. If an aerospace buyer already requires AS9100, go directly to it.
Is the ISO 9001 audit language in Montreal French or English?
Either can be used; the audit language and the language of controlled documents are agreed with the certification body at application. Organisations in Quebec should check provincial language rules for workplace documents. The Canada page covers the point in more detail.
