The globally recognised ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 standards are anticipated to be updated in 2026, with the final publication expected in January 2026 for ISO 14001 and later in 2026 for ISO 9001. Certified organisations will have a three-year transition period to move to the new standards.
ISO 14001:2026 UPDATES
Environmental Management System
The Draft International Standard (DIS) for ISO 14001:2026 is currently under development and reflects growing global priorities, such as climate resilience, biodiversity and sustainable resource use. While it doesn’t introduce entirely new requirements, many clauses have been refined to enhance clarity, improve traceability, and strengthen accountability with a stronger focus on environmental performance.
ISO 9001:2026 UPDATES
Quality Management System
The upcoming ISO 9001 revision, expected in 2026, is progressing through ISO pre-Draft International Standard (DIS) committees currently. While the DIS has not yet been published, early indications suggests that the new version will introduce refinements to strengthen the QMS framework with preliminary summaries suggesting limited new requirements, but several areas may be clarified or restructured for better readability and implementation.
