One year after the publication of ISO 9001:2008 all accredited certifications issued (new certifications or re-certifications) shall be to ISO 9001:2008.
Twenty four months after publication by ISO of ISO 9001:2008, any existing
certification issued to ISO 9001:2000 shall not be valid.
Organisations that are already certified to ISO 9001:2000 should contact
their certification/registration bodies (CB/RB) to agree a programme for analysing the clarifications in ISO 9001:2008 in relation to their individual quality management systems and for upgrading their certificates.
Certified organizations should bear in mind that ISO 9001:2000 certificates
have the same status as new ISO 9001:2008 certificates during the co-existence period. (i.e. Your current ISO 9001:2000 certificate will be valid up to 13th November 2010).
Organizations in the process of certification to ISO 9001:2000 should change to using ISO 9001:2008 and apply for certification to it.
New users should start by using ISO 9001:2008.
