The International Organization of for Standardization and the International Accreditation Forum have agreed to a smooth transition. Both standards will remain current for two years—until November 15, 2010. Registration of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 will be issued from November 15 on, and after a routine registrar surveillance audit, or a recertification audit against the new version. Also, as of November 15, 2009, all new registrations and recertification’s must be to ISO 9001:2008.
Two years after publication of ISO 9001:2008 (November 15, 2010), any certifications that are still to ISO 9001:2000 will no longer be valid. This means that currently certified organizations in “surveillance mode” in 2008-2009 have until November 15, 2010 to be successfully certified to ISO 9001:2008. We recommend a proactive approach. If you can win in your marketplace every day—why put it off?
