Why this matters
Transitions fail on timing, not difficulty
Most organisations have the system already — what catches them out is leaving the upgrade until the audit is booked. Certification bodies schedule months ahead, so the practical deadline is earlier than the official one.
Your audit date is the real deadline
The transition has to be verified at an audit. Work back from the date your certification body has scheduled, not from the end of the window.
Gaps are usually small
The core management-system approach is unchanged. Most of the work is updating documentation and briefing the team on what’s different.
Lapsing is expensive
An expired certificate can stall tenders and supply-chain approvals — and recovering it costs more than transitioning on time.
