Question on large/small business certification
I am contracted with a big business which has many contracts. Our contract ISO certified but we are partnering with a small business for my contract. I am the lead auditor and if I am transfered to the small business with our contract will the big business still be ISO certified?

The answer depends on how the ISO 9001 certification is structured within the big business.
If the big business is ISO 9001 certified at an organizational level, it keeps certification.
If the certification was contract-specific, the certification may no longer apply to that contract. The small business would need to become ISO 9001 certified if required for the contract.
