Validity and transition of certificates

DNV will follow the rules jointly set by ISO and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) for the transition:

• Twenty four months after the publication of ISO 9001:2008 any certificates issued to ISO 9001:2000 are no longer valid.
• One year after publication of the new version all certifications or re-certifications will be to ISO 9001:2008.
• Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 or its national equivalents will only begin after the new standard has been officially published, and after a periodic audit or re-certification audit against ISO 9001:2008
