Why the ISO 9001:2026 transition matters
ISO 9001 is the world’s most widely used quality management standard, and it’s moving to a new edition. If your organisation is certified to ISO 9001:2015, the 2026 revision will affect how you maintain that certification.
Certification bodies will set a transition period, after which ISO 9001:2015 certificates will no longer be valid. Organisations that start early can plan the work around normal operations instead of rushing changes before their audit.
