Hi,
our company has been sold to a major other company in our field of business. Amongst this, the CEOs changed, and by the end of the year the old copmpany name will be removed from the commercial register.
BUT - there is no change regarding the QM-System since the "old" company structures will remain intact and we will just become a "department" of the company conglomerate that bought us.
What I need to know is whether any "re-certification" (from scratch ?) regarding our current ISO 9001:2015 certification is required. I found an older post discussing this issue (Heading : "ISO 9001:2000 Registration Status if company is sold and changes name?") but I am not sure if this information is still valid. (It is from about 2004)
Is there any ruling in the ISO 9001:2015 documentation we can relate to when talking to the company handling our certification. Can you provide a link or hint where to find it, if any ?
Our current Certificate will be good until the end of 2023 and we will have our yearly "interim-check" later in 2022.
Can anyone advise how we can prevent loosing the certification under the new company-structure and if we can eventually have the certificate "re-issued" with the new company-name without any major efforts or costs, just being noted on the certificate that we are now a department of the larger company ?
Many thanks !
Regards
