As you should know by now, ISO 9001:2008 has been released and requires a transition from the ISO 9001:2000 standard. The new standard was released nearly one year ago (November 14, 2008). NQA, USA has conducted over 1,200 successful audits in North America to this revised standard since that point in time, with several thousands more completed amongst the global family of NQA clients. To date, the NQA, USA volume has peaked at nearly 250 certificates transitioned in a given month. As we approach the halfway mark in the transition period we have completed nearly 40% of the North American transitions required.
