Questions about the revisions
Which standards are being revised?
ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and ISO 22000 are all being revised during 2026-2027. ISO 27001:2022 is not under revision.
When are the new versions coming?
ISO 14001 is expected in April 2026, ISO 9001 in autumn 2026, and ISO 45001 in January 2027. ISO 22000 is projected for mid-2027.
How long is the transition period?
Typically three years from publication per IAF MD 26:2024. The exact period for each standard will be confirmed upon publication.
Do we need to recertify?
Yes, all certified organizations need to transition to the new version during the transition period. This involves a transition audit, but not a completely new certification.
Can we start preparing now?
Yes. Most changes are known from the DIS and FDIS versions. The climate amendments (Amendment 1:2024) already apply and are free to download.
How does AmpliFlow help with the transition?
