Yesterday, during the AAQG/Registration Management Committee meeting, we were told that the IAQG accepted the proposal from the Other Party Management Team committee to allow for a "slight" deviation in the transition process.
According to the NEW resolution (yet to be formally published), organizations that have their AS certification transition COMPLETED (i.e. on-site audit performed) before July 1st, 2012 will not be suspended, even though it might take additional time for the potential NC's to be resolved/closed before a new certificate be issued.
The previous resolution stated that if the new certificates were not issued by July 1st, 2012, the organization certification would be withdrawn.
The "old" revisions of the AS91X0 standards will remain in effect until December 31st, 2012. After that date, they will be cancelled.
Organizations that fail to have their AS transition audits completed before July 1st, will have their certificates suspended and will have until December 31st to accomplish the transition. After that, their certification will be withdrawn in OASIS.
As for the consequences of being suspended, it varies depending on the registrant's customers policies. They might be put on probation by the customers, no new business awarded, etc.
