ISO will publish amendments for all management system standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001, on February 23, 2024. The ISO organization is committed to contributing to the mitigation of the consequences of climate change through international standards.

Organizations applying the management system standards will need to assess whether climate change is an issue impacting the objectives of their management system and whether they need to take action on it.

What does this mean for you?

With the introduction of the amendment, climate change becomes a mandatory focal point in the context analysis. The current versions of the management system standards will not be modified by the amendment. Therefore, the publication of the amendment will not impact existing certificates. Certificate holders are expected to have a year to make any necessary adjustments to their management systems.

NEN (Nederlands Normalisatie Instituut) organized a webinar on Monday, March 4, about the publication of the additions. On behalf of the certification bodies, DEKRA explained the impact of this for your management system. Watch the full webinar here .
