Re: How long is ISO 9001: 2000 good for (valid)
According to a joint announcement by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IAF (International Accreditation Forum), the two organizations have agreed to an implementation plan for a smooth migration to ISO 9001:2008.
1) Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 will only be issued after publication of ISO 9001:2008 (issued November 15, 2008) and after a routine surveillance audit or re-certification audit against ISO 9001:2008.
2) One year after publication of ISO 9001:2008, all certifications issued (new certifications and re-certifications) must be to ISO 9001:2008.
3) Two years after publication of ISO 9001:2008, existing ISO 9001:2000 certifications will not be valid.
