ISO 9001:2026 quality management
The world’s most widely used management system standard — now in its 2026 edition. We help you build, update and audit your QMS.
What it is
ISO 9001 sets out the requirements for a quality management system: understanding your context and customers, leadership, planning for risks and opportunities, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. It applies to any organisation, of any size, in any sector.
ISO 9001:2026 is an evolution of the 2015 edition, not a rebuild. The process approach, Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and risk-based thinking remain at its core.
- Top management must actively promote a quality culture and ethical behaviour
- Opportunities are handled separately from risks, with actions evaluated for effectiveness
- Climate change considerations (from the 2024 amendment) are built into the standard
- Stronger expectations for managing change
- Expanded Annex A guidance on structure, terms and intent
ISO 9001:2015 certificates remain valid during the transition, which is expected to end around 30 September 2029. The final date is set by the accreditation bodies.
