ISO published the new version of ISO 9001 on 13-Nov-2008. The new version will be recognised as ISO 9001: 2008 as already known to all.
We will try to answer some common questions here:
1. How long can we continue ISO 9001:2000 certification?
2. How long will ISO 9001:2000 be available for certification?
3. What will be the validity of ISO 9001:2000 issued now?
4. Can I apply for ISO 9001:2008 today?
Answer to All these questions is as follows:
Existing ISO 9001:2000 certified companies can continue ISO 9001:2000 based surveillance audit until 12-11-2008.
Certification bodies will issue new certificate of ISO 9001:2000 till 12-11-2008 which will be valid till 12-11-2010 and not three years.
From 13-11-2008, all audits, New Certifications or surveillance will be based on ISO 9001:2008 only.
Technically you can get ISO 9001:2008 today, but this question can be best answered by your certification body. It depends on how much prepared their auditors are for ISO 9001:2008.
