Amendments to ISO management system standards.
On Feb. 23, 2024, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) published amendments applicable to our management system standards iso 9001 and ISO 14001, among others. Organizations with ISO 9001 or -14001 certification must consider whether climate change affects their management system goals and whether action is needed. ISO thus commits to combating and adapting to the effects of climate change.
Specifically, what does this mean?
As of Feb. 23, 2024, climate change is a mandatory concern:
4.1 The organization must determine whether climate change is a relevant issue.
4.2 If there are relevant stakeholders, they may have requirements related to climate change.
The amendments take effect immediately and have no transition period.
Certifying bodies check the next audit whether certified companies have considered climate change and verify the decision-making process.
Here is the link to the amendments
These amendments will soon also be translated into Dutch and will later be made available on our website.
