Edition history

Superseded Documents

Superseded and withdrawn documents remain identifiable so that an earlier certificate, decision or claim can be read against the edition that applied at the relevant time.

Review of controlled document editions

Document status

Superseded

A newer controlled edition has replaced the document for current application, subject to any stated transition arrangements.

Withdrawn

The document is no longer available as a current certification basis from the withdrawal date stated in its record.

Transition

A defined period or condition governs movement from one edition to another where ICEQC has authorized a transition.

Using an earlier edition

The Public Certificate Register identifies the standard and edition applicable to a certificate. An earlier edition may remain relevant to a historical decision or an authorized transition, but it must not be represented as the current edition without checking the document record.

Accessing records

Use the Standards Register and the All versions view for the relevant document number. Stable document identifiers and edition records are retained even when the current status changes.
