ISO 9001 and temporary unit closing

If an ISO 9001 certified unit closes down temporarily, you should communicate this to the certification body. Most likely your organization’s contract with the certification body includes a clause where your organization assumes the notification of the certification body, as soon as possible, of any significant changes to the organization and/or its activities. For example, change of physical location, change of ownership, or commercial viability. I work with organizations that closed down temporarily due to pandemic, communicated that to the certification body and life went on when they started to resume operations.
