Kayra Patent · ISO 45001
ISO 45001 Certificate Transfer
Changing certification bodies is a review of existing certification, not a sale of a replacement document. Confirm whether the accredited transfer route applies before terminating the existing arrangement. The applicant implements the system and prepares procedures specific to its own operations and operating records. A certification enquiry to Kayra concerns actual activities, sites, application information, authority and impartiality risks; this role does not include designing or implementing the client’s system.

Prepare the receiving body’s review
Supply the current certificate and site annex, initial or latest recertification report, latest surveillance report, open findings, relevant complaints, regulatory engagement and reason for transfer. Authorise exchange of relevant records. Under the applicable IAF MD2 route, valid accredited certification and the receiving body’s coverage matter; known suspended certification is not eligible for transfer.
Keep transfer distinct from scope expansion
The receiving body assesses outstanding issues and decides independently whether transfer can proceed or the applicant must be treated as a new client. Missing required audit reports or an incomplete audit programme can block the route. Adding a new activity or location is not achieved by printing a new issuer’s name. Obtain written treatment of the remaining cycle, scope and unresolved findings.
Define workplaces and people affected
Include activities, sites, shifts and workers within the proposed system, with temporary staff and contractor interfaces where relevant. An office scope does not cover an excluded workshop. Describe who controls the work and how shared-site arrangements operate. Assess applicable legal and other obligations separately from a generic safety document list.
Standard edition and programme limits
ISO 45001:2018 and its 2024 amendment remain the published framework; a revision project is not a new published edition. Certification is not an accident-free guarantee and does not replace employer duties, required occupational services or operating permissions. Worker consultation and participation are assessed through actual practice.
ISO does not issue certificates. Verify the proposed issuer, standard and activity against any claimed accreditation scope. Consultancy cannot guarantee approval; the competent body evaluates evidence and makes the independent decision. The applicant implements the system and prepares procedures specific to its own operations and operating records. A certification enquiry to Kayra concerns actual activities, sites, application information, authority and impartiality risks; this role does not include designing or implementing the client’s system. A management-system certification body, other parts of the same legal entity and controlled entities cannot offer or provide management-system consultancy; separate contracts do not remove this restriction.
Official sources and application limits
The operating examples are hypothetical, not customer events or guaranteed decisions. The actual standard and competent body determine requirements.
