ISO 9001:2015 Amendment

ISO published an amendment to clause 4.1 of ISO 9001 (ISO 9001:2015/ Amd1:2024), along with all other management system standards, adding an additional requirement for the organisation to determine if climate change is a relevant issue (when determining the issues relevant to its purpose and that affects its ability to achieve the intended results of its management system). The amendment also adds a note to clause 4.2 of the standard, indicating that relevant interested parties may have climate change related requirements. This change takes effect immediately, and here will be no lead-in period for the change for certified organisations, certification bodies(CBs) and accreditation bodies (ABs) and that certification bodies can raise findings in relation to the new requirement with immediate effect. 4.1 Add the following sentence at the end of the subclause: The organization shall determine whether climate change is a relevant issue. 4.2 Add the following note at the end of the subclause: NOTE Relevant interested parties can have requirements related to climate change.  

Intent of the changes

The intent is to ensure that Climate Change issues are considered by the organization in the context of the effectiveness of the management system, in addition to all other issues. These additional statements in each management system standard are ensuring that this important topic is not overlooked but considered by all organizations in the design and implementation of the management system.
