“The International Accreditation Forum has published an official position on organizations migrating their existing certification to ISO 9001:2008,” Hunt says. “Organizations that are currently registered to ISO 9001:2000 will have 24 months after publication to update their certification to ISO 9001:2008. During the twenty-four month period, ISO 9001:2000 certificates are to be considered equal to ISO 9001:2008 certification. While this official position has been published, organizations currently certified to ISO 9001:2000 should receive information from their registrar on how they will specifically manage the change.”
community members who go through the auditing process–which can be anxiety inducing–but you make a great point about how strong systems and dedication to continuous improvement are what management systems are all about. Thanks for sharing.
