It actually seems a joke referring to it as new, when it won't be officially published until September this year!
Having given it some thought I think it is possibly better to certify to the old standard now, you should be able to do this until the end of the year. A bit like Software, better to wait for the new version - let others iron out the Bugs. Once certified to the current standard, it is anticipated you will have 3 years to then incorporate the new requirements of 2013 - so no rush then!
Dealing with 3 independent UKAS Certification Bodies & many Auditors within each, I have been exposed to a minefield of interpretation & anticipation. Let them & your competitors thrash it out for a while before you get involved...
