What changes cause to Cancellation of ISO Certifications?

[nkultur]

Hi All,

The company I work is in the process of changing its name & organisation structure due to sell out of the business to existing management team. A core business of the company will remain the same, therefore, most of the processes. The company is currently holding ISO9000:2000 and 14001:2004 certifications.

The question is that whether the newly formed company needs to be re-certified for both certifications from scratch or not ? Or to ask a generic question, what factors/changes trigger a re-certification activity ? Regarding the issue, is there any ISO document available as a reference ?

I would appreciate for your quick reply/comment(s).

Alex,

Welcome to the cove. It is good to have a fellow Aussie on board. There are not many of us.

Anyway, the simple answer is NO you do not have to start from scratch. The registrar will have to issue new certifcates and will probably do another certification audit (or bring a triennial forward). We have been sold MANY times and have retained the original certfication number.

The best people to ask are you registrar company. SAI Global or Sciqual etc. If you have any urgent questions to be answered PM (personnel message at the top right of the main screen) me during business hours

Thanks for your reply Greg. I hope I do not start everything from scratch as you suggested but, if I use the response rate as a criteria to my query, it seems to me the issue is not clear amongst the quality people.

Thanks again
