Revizija norme za sustave upravljanja kvalitetom ISO 9001 napreduje prema objavi. Završni nacrt međunarodne norme (FDIS) dostavljen je nacionalnim članicama ISO-a za završni krug glasovanja i davanja komentara.
ISO 9001 međunarodno je priznata norma za sustave upravljanja kvalitetom koja pruža strukturirani okvir organizacijama za dosljedno isporučivanje proizvoda i usluga u skladu sa zahtjevima kupaca i regulatornim zahtjevima te za povećanje zadovoljstva kupaca. Redovite revizije ključne su kako bi se osigurala trajna relevantnost međunarodnih normi.
ISO 9001 temelj je osiguranja kvalitete u različitim industrijama. Ova revizija stoga je važna i pomno je prate brojni dionici. Ključno je da se norma redovito ažurira kako bi ostala relevantna u današnjem sve složenijem i dinamičnijem poslovnom okruženju.

“It is also essential that revisions build on practical experience and input from users. This helps ensure that the standard continues to support organisations in improving performance and delivering value in a structured and reliable way,” he adds.
Moderate changes in the revised standard
Overall, the extent of the changes is considered moderate and significantly less extensive than the 2015 revision. Organisations already certified to ISO 9001:2015 are therefore not expected to face major implementation challenges.
Key changes in ISO 9001:2026
Among the main changes in ISO 90001:2026 are:
A strengthened emphasis on leadership responsibility, including the promotion of quality culture and ethical behaviour
A clearer separation of risk and opportunity management, with separate clauses and enhanced guidance
Reinforced requirements related to management of changes to the quality management system to support achievement of intended results
Integration of the climate change amendments from 2024
Targeted updates and clarifications across clauses 4 to 10, including additional notes to support interpretation
In addition, Annex A is substantially enhanced and improved to assist users in understanding the requirements of the standard. Publication of the updated final version of the standard is expected around September 2026.
Transition timeline
When the revised standard gets published, all organisations certified to ISO 9001:2015 will be required to transition to the new version within a defined timeline. Based on a draft document from Global ACI, the international accreditation authority, the transition timeline is expected to be three years.
Early preparation recommended
Although the expected changes are moderate, organisations are encouraged to start preparing early to ensure a smooth transition. This includes familiarising themselves with the updated requirements, assessing potential gaps and ensuring that relevant personnel are informed.
DNV supports organisations throughout the transition to ISO 9001:2026 through webinars, training and transition audits, helping them align their management systems with the revised standard.
