OASIS Database "Certified" Suppliers Status Question

[Frank T.]

My company recently passed its recertification audit back in October 2010 and was issued their new Certificate, shortly thereafter. However while browsing through the Oasis database I noticed that my company is listed with a status of "EXPIRED".:mg:
My first thought was that maybe my CB's current status had changed to "EXPIRED" which would inturn would automatically change all the "certified" supplier status's for that CB to "EXPIRED" as well. But, when I looked up my CB in Oasis they are listed as "Accredited" for the Standard in which my company is registered to.

So, my question is who is responsible for changing a "certified" suppliers status in Oasis?

Am I correct in think that the CB's administrator updates that information.

Correct. They will do it, shouldn't be anything to worry about if the audit has been closed and the bill has been paid.

They (CB) usually don't issue a new certificate unless the audit has been closed and the bill is paid.

The CB personnel will change the status in the database. However the revised status will only show in OASIS when a certain individual at ANAB approves the change, from what I have been told. It is a huge bottleneck in the process, without a doubt.

Nevertheless, your scenario is odd. I would most definitely contact the CB and ask them about your status in OASIS. If the certificate was issued in the November timeframe, your status should have changed several weeks ago.

Thanks, I already contacted our CB and am awaiting a response.
