I'm using Illustrator CS6 to create several black/white figures. Since the printing agency requires "well" prepared figures, I want to ensure that all figures are in grayscale, or in other words, that no black stroke is an RGB or CMYK black, but a grayscale = 100 black :-) Is there a way to achieve this globally and check this within Illustrator? Or do I have to manually select all elements in my Illustrator file? Thank you!

Well you could simply only use the Grey swatches in the Swatch Panel.

Or you could select art and choose Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to Greyscale -- note that this will not alter placed raster images or raster effects.
