If a company wants to change the ISO9001 certification body, what steps should be taken?

If a company wants to change the issuing body of its ISO9001 certificate, it should first check on the CNCA official website whether its certificate is valid or entrust a third-party consulting company to assist with the inquiry (Inquiry address: http://cx.cnca.cn/CertECloud/result/skipResultList). Only if the inquiry result is not suspended or revoked can the company freely switch certification bodies; this is the primary condition. Secondly, because changing the certification body requires submitting a transfer application to the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), the transfer can only proceed after approval by the association. Additionally, the new certification body needs to conduct on-site audits, rectifications, and certification work for the company. The entire process usually takes about 1-2 months, so the company should contact the new certification body and fill out the transfer application about 2 months in advance.

And among the five reasons for transferring institutions listed in the association's certificate transfer filing, select an appropriate reason to describe. The reason should be sufficient and reasonable. After being signed by the legal representative, it should be uploaded to the association's self-regulation system. After approval by the association, the new certification body can carry out the certificate transfer work. This process is relatively complicated and can be directly handled by a third-party consulting company, usually completed within 3-7 days.

Finally, if the company intends to change the certification body, it should start the related work as early as possible. Once the certificate is suspended by the original certification body, the company cannot perform any operations. Since the suspension periods vary among institutions, if the company plans to change the certification body, it can even entrust a third-party consulting company to handle the transfer work and find a suitable certification body up to six months in advance. This way, the company can quickly and effectively complete the transfer under the guidance of the third-party consulting company.

The national zero-carbon factory policy is now in effect! United Zhiye provides precise support to help clients seize the initiative in their transformation.

Based on the strategic plan proposed by the headquarters, United Zhiye takes the upgrade of its product system as a key driver to build a three-tiered business structure—comprising “zero-carbon factory solutions + carbon-related products + integrated comprehensive services”—and thereby develop end-to-end service capabilities. The original enterprise’s integrated approach to low-carbon development has been upgraded to an integrated approach to zero-carbon development, which we regard as a milestone event. While the zero-carbon factory business focuses on deepening engagement in the manufacturing sector, the integrated approach to zero-carbon enterprise development transcends industry boundaries, extending its reach to the service sector and thus covering a broader scope of services.

For the first time, technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises have been included in the scope of tiered cultivation for high-quality SMEs.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the latest revised "Administrative Measures for the Tiered Cultivation of High-Quality Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which have expanded the scope of cultivation by including technology-based SMEs in the tiered cultivation system for the first time. In the future, the tiered system for high-quality SMEs will encompass technology- and innovation-driven SMEs, specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative SMEs, and "Little Giant" enterprises that are specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative. The "Measures" will take effect from April 1, 2026.
