The revision process for ISO 9001, the international standard for quality management is currently underway. Publication of the updated standard is anticipated during 2026.
In the summer of 2023 ISO/TC 176 SC2, the technical committee responsible for the development of ISO 9001 voted by a simple majority in favour of ISO 9001 revision. The timetable for that revision is now more visible.
An article published in August 2023 by the German Society for Quality reveals the significance of potential changes to ISO 9001 and the affected QMS standard clauses.
Planned changes to ISO 9001 cover resilience, supply chain management, change management, sustainability, organizational knowledge and dealing effectively with risks.
The basic higher level structure of the quality management standard, similar to that currently in place in ISO 9001:2015 is to be retained.
ISO are pushing for a 2025 release date for the updated ISO 9001. However it currently appears more likely that an update to the standard will appear in 2026.
