As the revision process of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, everyone should plan ahead to ensure a smooth transition and compliance with the latest standards requirements. The traditional revision transition period normally lasts up to 3 years. Since the changes in standards are relatively small, the transition period may be shortened. It is recommended to prepare for the transition in advance to ensure that the management system adapts smoothly to the new standard as follows:
ISO 9001:2026 - Quality Management System Standard
Revision progress: The final draft international standard DIS is expected to be released in mid-2025, and the official standard is expected to be released in September 2026.
Proposed changes: Risk management, resilience and opportunity, integration of digital transformation, continuity and supply chain management
ISO 14001:2026 - Environmental Management Systems Standard
Revision progress: The final draft international standard is expected to be released in December 2025, and the formal standard is expected to be released in January 2026.
Proposed changes: Clarify existing requirements, no new specifications, adjust text and requirements to comply with the new ISO high-level structure, enhance the guidance content of Annex A, clarify key issues, etc.
ISO 45001:2027 - Occupational safety and health management systems standard
Revision progress: The next committee meeting is planned for May 2025, and the official standard may be published in 2027.
Proposed changes: Impacts of climate change on workplace safety, increased focus on well-being and mental health, stronger support for a diverse workforce, and more.
