Certification to ISO 9001:2008 is not considered an “upgrade”. The rules for transition are as follows: 1. The new edition will not require any specific reassessment for certification. Certification Bodies will evaluate conformity to the new ISO 9001:2008 standard during regular surveillance visits and full reassessment will only take place once your current certificate expires. 2. ISO and the IAF have agreed that all certificates to ISO 9001 should be transitioned to ISO 9001:2008 within 2 years of publication date, (i.e., by November 14, 2010). Your organization can request your Certification Body (Registrar) to asses your QMS to ISO 9001:2008 at your next Surveillance audit. 3. One year after publication of ISO 9001:2008 (i.e., by November 14, 2009), all certifications issued (new certifications and re-certifications) must be to ISO 9001:2008. 4. Two years after publication of ISO 9001:2008 (i.e., by November 14, 2010), existing ISO 9001:2000 certifications will not be valid. 5. Org
