View Full Version : Keeping old ISO certificates of registration Casana 10th July 2009, 11:21 AM I'm cleaning out my files and found some old ISO certificates of registration. I'll admit some of them don't bring happy memories ... Is there any value on keeping these 5-10 yr old certs or would I be ok to discard? Thoughts?? AndyN 10th July 2009, 11:23 AM I'm cleaning out my files and found some old ISO certificates of registration. I'll admit some of them don't bring happy memories ... Is there any value on keeping these 5-10 yr old certs or would I be ok to discard? Thoughts?? To throw darts at? Or a ritual burning in the parking lot, late one night? Can't imagine why they'd be much use, unless someone likes to collect 'em. Casana 10th July 2009, 11:48 AM My thoughts too... :lol: Though maybe I should archive them? In case someone wants to do ... i dont' know... a retrospective of our certs? :notme: I'm just afraid of someone asking me something like, when did you get certified, etc... :confused: SteelMaiden 10th July 2009, 11:54 AM my ISO certs all state our initial certification date, even though we've had multiple re-cert (3 year) periods, so there is no doubt when we became registered initially. One thing that I have had happen is a change to a cert mid-cycle, the registrar asked me to either send back the obsolete cert, or send them a statement that they had been destroyed. I see no value in keeping them, but I am pretty ruthless with old paper. AndyN 10th July 2009, 11:56 AM My thoughts too... :lol: Though maybe I should archive them? In case someone wants to do ... i dont' know... a retrospective of our certs? :notme: I'm just afraid of someone asking me something like, when did you get certified, etc... :confused: Just scan 'em and file them. Don't keep the paper. I believe some burn with pretty colors because of the inks.....:lol: JaneB 13th July 2009, 11:16 PM They make good bookmarks. Or you can use 'em to line a cat litter tray. Some registrars like to retrieve them 'to prevent them from being used'. If yours doesn't, do whatever you like with them.

The certs are "company property", so I would check with Top Management and see what they want to do with them.... unless you are the owner or Top managment, then I guess you decide ! :lol: I personally like to keep them and have them on display in our conference rooms... brahmaiah 14th July 2009, 09:15 AM I'm cleaning out my files and found some old ISO certificates of registration.
