If your organisation is certified to ISO 9001:2015, transitioning to ISO 9001:2026 shouldn’t mean rewriting your internal audit policies and procedures from scratch.   However, the new standard may adjust what a good internal audit programme needs to prove.  ISO 9001:2026 has reached the Final Draft International Standard stage, with publication currently expected in September 2026. That means your organisation can start preparing now but shouldn’t make any […]

ISO 9001 is changing. But as an SME, there’s no need to panic.  If your business is already ISO 9001 certified, or you’re thinking about getting certified, ISO 9001:2026 is something to be aware of. However, it doesn’t mean you need to rebuild your whole quality management system (QMS) right now.  For small and medium-sized businesses, we recommend taking the time to understand what’s coming, keep

ISO 9001:2026 is coming.  That means you’ll probably be starting to ask what your organisation actually needs to change. It’s a very sensible question. The key is to treat the ISO 9001:2026 update as a practical process update. Simply changing a few procedure titles and running a quick internal audit won’t necessarily mean passing your transition audit.  Use this as an opportunity not just to maintain your ISO certification but, even more
