Performance Review Institute (PRI)

Non-profit Organizations

The Performance Review Institute (PRI) is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the USA, with offices in London, UK to serve Europe and in Beijing, China and Aichi, Japan serving the Asia-Pacific region. PRI was originally set up to administer Nadcap – the industry-managed special process and product accreditation program for the aerospace and defense industries. Nadcap was developed by Government and Industry to continually improve quality while reducing costs. In 1995 we established PRI Registrar, a management systems registrar which provides international third-party certifications to standards such as ISO 9001, AS9100 and ISO 14001, among others. In 2007, responding to customer demand, we established eQuaLearn, a special process and quality training program and eQuaLified, an industry managed special process personnel qualification program. More recently, we have applied the Nadcap model to other industries where safety and quality are shared values, focusing on medical device manufacturing through the MedAccred program, and the transportation and power generation industries through the TPG program.
