Updating a certified product or system—whether it’s hardware, software, or firmware—can affect its certification status. Significant changes may invalidate the original certification because the updated version could alter security, safety, or compliance performance.

• Minor Updates/Patches: Often don’t require full re-certification but may need documentation or a limited review.
• Major Changes: New features, architectures, or security modifications usually require re-evaluation or full recertification.
• Regulatory Impact: Some industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, IoT) have strict rules, and non-compliance can lead to penalties.

Always consult your certification body before releasing updates to ensure continued compliance.
