Validity of ISO 9001 certification.
Validity of ISO 9001 certification.
(OP)
The ISO 9001 certificate is issued for 3 years after which recertification has to be done. recently, I have come across ISO certificate issued for a period of ten years from the date of issue. I tried to get clarification from issuing body but could not succeed. Is it possible to issue ISO certificate with a validity of ten years?

But beyond what period of time between audits do you think an original issue certifacte cannot describe the current situation of a documented QMS. I think a year is usual and even generally expected.

you are right. That's the reason i am surprised looking at 10 year validity.

One of the reason the automotive industry got away from 9001 was that slip shod auditing companies were handing out certificates to anybody willing to shell out the $$$. The TS16949 registrars are much more tightly controlled.

Has anyone used an outside company for said services? The only company I've found on google ads is Quality Auditing LLC (www.qualityauditingllc.com) I'm very interested in finding reputable companies to quote against one another.
Thanks

1) The standard requires the organization itself to audit itself
2) the organization may invite its clients to audit
3) the organization may engage the services of an independent quality system certification body
Refer to: http:
Based on point 3 above, the organization may certify itself daily if they so choose, and the money of course.
