Let us look back at history....ISO9001:2000 was issued on 15 December 2000. Companies and organisations were given 3 years to convert from ISO9001:1994 and ISO9002:1994 to ISO9001:2000.
For the ISO9001:2008, the Joint IAF-ISO Community had agreed that:
1) Accredited certification to the ISO 9001:2008 shall not be granted until the publication of ISO 9001:2008 as an International Standard.
2) Certification of conformity to ISO 9001:2008 and/or national equivalents shall only be issued after official publication of ISO 9001:2008 (which should take place before the end of 2008) and after a routine surveillance or recertification audit against ISO 9001:2008.
I think the time allocated is too short. Practically, the implementation grace period for ISO9001:2008 should be 3 years...just like for ISO9001:2000.
