Abraham was pivotal in helping CB Supplies receive BMEC certification on our VIPERT (PE-RT) tubing in Ontario. He understood the system and knew what was needed to get the job done. He was professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process and we couldn’t have done it without him. I highly recommend Abraham Murra and AIM Consulting!

He tenido el gusto de trabajar con el Ing. Murra durante varios años cuando se desempeñaba como Gerente de Proyectos en el Comité Técnico B1800 para tuberías termoplásticas para flujo por gravedad de la Asociación Canadiense de Normas (Canadian Standards Association – CSA). A pesar de la gran cantidad de miembros participantes de las áreas productora, técnica y usuaria, con sus muy distintos intereses y objetivos, el Ing. Murra se distinguió por su alto grado de profesionalismo y ecuanimidad en la coordinación de tan diverso grupo.

I have known Abraham for over 12 years and not only consider him as a colleague but also a friend. We worked together for a number of years on Plumbing Technical Standards at both CSA and IAPMO. He is knowledgeable and well versed in the standards development process at various standard development organizations. He also knows how these standards work within the North American Plumbing Codes. I recommend Abraham for any plumbing standard or code related matter.

…working with Abraham Murra on the IAPMO Z1033 subcommittee was a pleasure. He provided tremendous support and coordination during the time we spent reviewing the standard. His insight cut our time needed to get this implemented and on track. He kept meticulous notes and I was able to rely on him to make sure our summaries and follow up work was precise. He was always available to help clarify information and to get the rest of the committee to complete our tasks. I would highly recommend working with Abraham in any capacity as he proved to be invaluable. I look forward to working with Abraham again in the near future.

Staying in compliance with regulatory requirements is a challenge faced by most manufacturers: the rapidly changing marketplace not always being in synch with standards development.
Under such circumstances, Abraham Murra proved to be an invaluable resource for my company. His expertise in standards development coupled with his knowledge of the certification business provided a winning formula.
Abraham offered both a strategy and a path to its execution, and brought his honed project management skills to the table to support his well-recognized expertise in the plumbing testing and certification.
I am looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Abraham and can recommend his services with complete confidence.

These are traits that Abraham has embodied throughout his career.
