How long do I have to transition?

Last updated: 2026-10-19Sourced

No transition arrangement for this revision is published. Your certification body and its accreditation body set the terms. The previous edition had a three-year transition from publication, ending 29 June 2021, but that is a precedent, not a rule for this revision.

The points that matter

  • Ask your certification body for its transition policy in writing.
  • Check whether it will renew or issue a certificate to the current edition if your cycle ends before publication.
  • Put the transition in the audit cycle, at surveillance or recertification.
  • Do not treat the planning date as a deadline.
