Use of certification logo

"Would like to clarify and confirm the 3-yr validity of the ISO 9001 Certificate issued by a Certifying body/registrar. Example, if a certificate was originally issued on July 2016 and was re-certified on July 2017 which expired on July 2018, can we still use it or at least the logo for communication and marketing purposes?”

Answer:

ISO 9001 certificates issued by certification bodies normally are valid for three years. Under normal conditions, a certificate issued on July 2016 would be valid until July 2019. If you say that your certificate expired on July 2018 that means that your organization had a particular situation like maintaining a management system according to ISO 9001:2008. If the certificate expired, you cannot use the logo without risks particularly for communication and marketing purposes.
