The International Recording Media Association (IRMA) has established the world's first Anti-Piracy Certification/Compliance Program for the manufacture of CDs, DVDs and CD-ROMs. This initiative is designed to help manufacturing plants establish procedures to reduce the risk of publishing pirated material. IRMA's Anti-Piracy Compliance Program is modeled after the ISO 9000 Program, which is a series of generic international standards for quality management and quality assurance. Unlike ISO 9000, however, the IRMA Anti-Piracy Compliance Program contains specific guidelines for the optical media industry regarding anti-piracy. Through internal audits and regularly scheduled surveillance audits, the IRMA Anti-Piracy Compliance Program is able to uphold the standards for self-regulation required by today's customers.
