Company changing name
(OP)
The company I'm working for is changing their name. And all documentation needs to be changed accordingly. My question is "Do I keep the revision history for traceability in the revision block on the new reformatted drawings or drop the old rev(s) and retain only the current revision?
Is there a standard that covers this?
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks
Mike

4.3 Redrawn Drawings
Depending on the circumstances, drawings may be redrawn either with or without change and shall include the original date and contract number as applicable.
4.3.2 Redrawn Drawing Without Change.
When a drawing, or a sheet of a drawing, is to be replaced because of loss, destruction, or degradation due to age, it may be redrawn without change. The replacement shall duplicate the requirements of the old original which is being replaced. The names of the individuals whose signatures appear in the Title block of the old original
and revision record, if retained, are entered on the new
original. The notation REDRAWN WITHOUT CHANGE with the signature of those who prepared the replacement and date shall be entered in the Revision History block. The advancement of the revision letter is not required.
Hope this helps out.

If you follow you example of making a new drawing I hope you keep the old drawing for at least 10 years. Service parts sometimes required old revision drawing and liability suits sometimes hang on what is on the print.
