11/21/96

Michigan Firm Established as Worldwide Leader in Environmental
Protection


DETROIT, Nov. 19 -- In the new field of corporate
environmental protection, a Michigan company is pioneering in bringing
ISO 14000 environmental quality management techniques to
U.S. businesses.

International Quality and Environmental Services, LLC (IQuES) of
Northville, Michigan, is providing technical instruction on ISO 14000
environmental auditing to Ford Motor Company personnel in
Canada and the U.S. as the first phase of a worldwide program to reach
all Ford manufacturing affiliates on the six continents.  Courses for
personnel in Europe, then Mexico and Australia, will follow in the
first quarter of 1997.

Partly because of the Ford experience, IQuES was chosen by the
American National Standards Institute to pilot a training program for
environmental auditors to the newly published international guidelines
issued by the International Organization for Standardization, a
worldwide federation of standardization bodies organized in Geneva,
Switzerland in 1947.  The IQuES ISO 14000 EMS Lead Auditor course is
the first such course in the U.S.  recommended for certification.
