Looking for ideas on how to handle this issue. We export product to Bolivia, and they have some very “unique” requirements for approving import of foreign products.
One of these requirements is that the ISO 9001 certification needs to have 6 months of validity, and we will be submitting al required documentation by Dec 31.
We will be having our recertification audit in November – and knowing our site and our registrar, I expect at least one minor finding. Does not take much math to figure out how tight this timeline is.
We also use a subcontractor lab (ISO17025) that has its certification expiring May 2024, which again will not have 6 months validity by Dec 31.
I guess I could ask the registrar to provide a letter explaining this situation ie that we’re scheduled for recert in November, if all requirements are met we should have our updated cert by Y date… ? Any other suggestions?
