Who is Ralph Martin?
I’m not here to simply tell you about certifications and decades-long credentials; I want to invite you into my world of unwavering dedication to quality. My name is Ralph Martin, and over the past 30 years, I’ve carved a niche for myself in the realm of quality assurance across several rigorous industries.
From the chemical manufacturing sphere to the precision of the medical device industry, the meticulous environment of laboratory testing, the aesthetic standards in cosmetics, down to the innovative biopharmaceutical sector, my journey has been about ensuring excellence every step of the way.
But this isn’t just about my professional timeline. It’s also a path defined by a passion that drives me to help businesses like yours not just meet but exceed industry standards. Having worn many hats – from a quality control chemist to a strategic quality consultant – I’ve gained a panoramic view of the quality landscape.
In a nutshell, Ralph Martin has over 30 years of experience in the field of Quality. He started his career off as a quality control chemist for a large chemical manufacturing company and worked his way up to quality control manager for his first 18 years in quality management. During this tenure, he helped the company acquire FDA clearance for an active pharmaceutical ingredient and become ISO 9001 certified.
He moved from this era into becoming a Quality Manager for a large medical device company heading three facilities under the ISO 13485 medical device standard. He then was led to helping a large government services lab become accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory testing standard.
He is also an external auditor for a very large laboratory accreditation company for ISO/IEC 17025 and the ISO/IEC 17020 inspection standard. He has been auditing to these standards since 2017. So, not only does he know what it’s like to be audited, he also knows the ins and outs from the external auditor’s perspective. Ralph has also helped many companies achieve ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation as well as lead small companies to ISO 9001 certification. In fact, he has created quality management systems from scratch for many of these companies.
That’s the story of how I became a certified auditor in 2017, specializing in ISO 17025, ISO 17020, and ISO 9001. With these certifications, I decided to harness my accumulated experience to forge a unique path. RJ Quality Consulting emerged as a beacon to guide companies towards quality excellence.
In my opinion, having a consultant who’s an auditor provides an invaluable edge. I’ve sat on both sides of the table, and I understand deeply what it takes for a business to not only pass an audit but to also embody the principles of quality in its DNA. Your Quality Management System should not only help you succeed in audits, but it should drive actual improvement to your company’s processes and bottom line, and that includes increasing customer satisfaction.

Beyond the Business: Ralph’s World
Now, I’ve talked a lot about my professional life, but there’s more to me than just quality standards and audit reports. I find that engaging with my personal hobbies and passions provides a well-rounded perspective that benefits both my work and my clients.
