The National Certification Body of Jamaica (NCBJ) was established in 2007 with its core service being the certification of management systems.

The NCBJ is accredited by US-based ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), to offer certification services to ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems. Certification of a company by the NCBJ demonstrates that the company’s products, processes, systems or services are conformant not only with local regulations but international management system standards.

Certification of management systems is the National Certification Body of Jamaica’s (NCBJ’s) core function. The NCBJ also offers a variety of services including but not limited to certification of management systems to ISO 9001 by way of:

  • Initial certification
  • Pre Assessments
  • Transfers
  • Recertification

The NCBJ has been established to achieve institutional strengthening and promotion of the national quality infrastructure, and demonstrates the competence required worldwide in the certification of organizations which have met the requirements of these rigorous international standards. In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, an NCBJ certification allows a company to compete with confidence anywhere in the world.

Promoting a Quality Culture

The NCBJ team is committed to promoting a culture of quality throughout Jamaica and the Caribbean and has developed a number of initiatives which provide technical support and knowledge for leaders, practitioners and persons who work in organizations implementing and maintaining quality and environmental management systems.

Annually, NCBJ leads the process of recognizing and celebrating World Quality Day and participates in World Standards Day activities which focus on quality and environmental management system (QEMS) standards, their implementation and related certification activities. Through the media and various national publications, NCBJ highlights the broad spectrum of careers in quality: auditors, professionals and practitioners who work in the field of quality, thereby contributing to the development of the national quality infrastructure and by extension, the national economy.
