With ISO 42001 certification, you’ll gain the trust of your partners and stay ahead of your competitors in the era of artificial intelligence.
What is ISO 42001:2023?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for AI management systems (Artificial Intelligence Management System – AIMS). Published in late 2023, it provides organizations with a comprehensive framework for the safe and ethical use of artificial intelligence.
The standard is based on the structure of well-known ISO standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001) and introduces requirements for planning, implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement of AI processes. It helps companies to align the use of AI with the principles of accountability, transparency and rights protection.
What is ISO 42001 aimed at?
The main areas of focus of ISO 42001:2023 are
The use of artificial intelligence brings huge opportunities for companies, but it also brings responsibility. ISO 42001:2023 focuses mainly on these areas:
AI risk management
The standard helps companies identify and manage the risks associated with AI - from technical to ethical - to avoid negative impacts on both customers and the organisation's reputation.
Trustworthiness of data and algorithms
ISO 42001 emphasizes data quality and integrity and transparent management of algorithms, ensuring reliable and objective results from AI systems.
Transparency and explainability of AI decisions
Certified organisations must be able to demonstrate how AI has reached its conclusions, which increases the confidence of partners and customers.
Data protection and cyber security
The standard links AI with GDPR and cybersecurity requirements to ensure sensitive data is protected from misuse or attack.
Regulatory compliance - including the forthcoming AI Act
ISO 42001 prepares companies for upcoming AI legislation, particularly the European AI Act, and facilitates compliance with legal obligations.
Continuous improvement and audits of AI systems
The standard establishes a cycle of regular audits and process improvements to ensure that AI systems remain safe, reliable and up-to-date in the future.
Real benefits of ISO 42001

How does the certification process work?
1/ Initial consultation and system preparation and implementation
We'll walk you through what stage your AI management system is at, explain the requirements of the standard, and recommend a course of action. The organisation will prepare the necessary documentation, processes and measures in accordance with the requirements of ISO 42001.
2/ Internal audit
Prior to the actual certification, the company conducts an internal audit to uncover any deficiencies and adjust processes.
3/ Certification audit
The auditor will check the readiness of the organisation - whether the processes and documents are set up according to the standard. The auditor will assess how the organisation actually applies the standard in day-to-day operations, e.g. by reviewing records, staff interviews and the practical operation of the system.
4/ Issuance of the certificate
If the organisation meets the requirements of the standard, it will be awarded the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certificate, which is valid for 3 years.
