ISO 9001:2026 provides greater clarity around risks and opportunities, including how both can support informed decision-making and continual improvement.
Strategic alignment
The revised edition gives greater attention to how quality management connects with the organisation's strategic direction.
Awareness and ethical behaviour
People's understanding of quality culture and ethical behaviour receives greater attention within the revised requirements.
New Annex A
