ISO 9001:2008 has been published and is now ready for use.

If you’ve got an hour, you can get caught up on the changes. Register for our free webinar on Friday, December 5 to learn more about ISO 9001:2008 and the steps to implementation.

In the meantime, here are some quick transition tips and guidelines:

• Your certificate to ISO 9001:2008 will be issued after we perform a surveillance or re-certification audit against the new standard. 
• Any remaining ISO 9001:2000 certificates will become invalid on November 15, 2010. Until then, certificates to ISO 9001:2000 will be considered equal to certificates to ISO 9001:2008.
• No new requirements have been introduced in ISO 9001:2008. Most of the changes are for ease of use and improved compatibility with ISO 14001:2004.
• You can purchase a copy of ISO 9001:2008 here.
