One of our new vendor's website lists they are "ISO 9001-2011 Certified". What is that?
Thank you in advance.

Or it could mean that the vendor was certified in 2011, and it was just placed poorly on the webpage...

No such standard exists so that would be BS. Ask them for a copy of their certificate.

I wonder if that is a case of the website designer not knowing what ISO9001 is and the year element in the standard. They took from the certification year thinking that it is a selling point to have ISO9001:2011 because they've got a later certificate than 2008 so good to put that on!! Not realising that 2008 refers to the publication date and the certification date is irrelevant to the standard.
Think their marketing boffins need some training in the basics of quality perhaps.

Certainly, in most cases, these tend to be the result of "MARKETING-DEPARTMENT-GONE-WILD". If one does a google search for ISO 9001:2011, some press releases pop up, such as this one.
In the past, however, we did have cases of accredited CB's issuing certificates to non-existing standards such as ISO 9002:2000. It was captured in the ISO 9002:2000 - I did not know it existed - Not to mention QS-9000:2000 thread.

I've see this on several occasions, especially from our overseas vendors... and given them the benefit of the doubt...
One thing is for certain... that could get them an NC during an audit should the auditor find it...
I don't think it would bear any relevancy. If the organization us using the 2008 version, there's no problem outside of someone's confusion.I've see this on several occasions, especially from our overseas vendors... and given them the benefit of the doubt...

Hmmmmm... perhaps my auditor was incorrect... but we recieved an NC for having the wrong version of ISO in the letterhead on a form we use. It had been inadvertently overlooked during the revision when we went from 2001 to 2008.
