ISO 9001:2026 specifies requirements for a quality management system that enables organizations to consistently provide products and services that meet customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements while enhancing customer satisfaction.
This sixth edition applies to organizations of any type or size and covers organizational context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement. It emphasizes the process approach, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, risk-based thinking, opportunity-based thinking, quality culture, ethical behavior, and stronger management of change.
The standard cancels and replaces ISO 9001:2015 and incorporates ISO 9001:2015/Amd 1:2024. It is suitable for internal and external parties involved in quality management system implementation, auditing, certification, and continual improvement.
Application Scope: Applicable to organizations of any type or size seeking to establish, implement, maintain, improve, or assess a quality management system and demonstrate conformity with customer, statutory, and regulatory requirements.
