We recently merged two other company sites into our AS9100 QMS. We are certified to AS9100D with a certificate expiring in January 2021. The other two sites are also certified to AS9100D on one certificate expiring in January 2020. We just completed a surveillance audit including all three sites with our site as the central function. The CB is telling us that the certificate expiration date has to be the earliest of the two certificates (1/2020) not the date of our existing certificate (1/2021). I believe that it should be 1/2021 because they are being added to our existing certificate. If they had no prior certificate and we added them to our certificate we would still keep the same expiration date.
Can someone show me where the requirements are for AS9100 certificate expiration dates for a situation like this? I can't seem to find it in AS9104/1 or ISO 17021-1:2015.
