NYSTAAC Grants can help to achieve Lean Manufacturing
and Certification

Lean Manufacturing and Certification Assistance

Manufacturing assistance through NYSTAAC provides your New York business with full control over your grant package. These Federal Grants can be used to help implement and run improvements to your manufacturing processes and manufacturing classifications that are often specified as part of contractual requirements for manufacturing suppliers.

Assistance for ISO 9000, QS-9000, and TS 16949 Certification
The ISO 9000, QS-9000, and TS 16949 certification series set international standards for establishing and maintaining a quality management system. A typical ISO 9000, QS 9000, or TS 16949 related project could consist of developing a quality management system based on relevant standards, clearly defining those standards for your firm, assuring total commitment from management, identifying gaps between your current quality management system and certification requirements, and assistance with the registration process.

Assistance to gain CE Marking
CE Marking indicates your product complies with all applicable directives and that the product has been subjected to conformity assessment procedures as required by the directives. CE Marking is a requirement for selling many types of products in the European Union.

Federal assistance to gain UL Listing
A UL Listing Mark is an indication that Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) found that representative samples of your product meet UL's requirements. Various types of location and/or application specific UL Listing Marks are available.
