Quality Management

ISO 9001:2026 – How to prepare optimally for the new revision!

The new ISO 9001 standard will come into effect in 2026, bringing with it numerous changes: from digitalisation and sustainability to ESG (environmental, social and governance) and smart integration. Those who prepare now will not be caught off guard later.

How to prepare optimally for the new revision

Conduct a gap analysis – Where does your quality management system stand today? Where is there a need for action?
Raise awareness among employees – Training creates understanding and promotes acceptance.
Update documentation – Bring processes, guidelines and evidence up to date.
Involve stakeholders – Communication strengthens trust and contributes to successful implementation.
Evaluate technology – Check out tools for integrating and digitising your QMS processes.

Use the transition period strategically! Early preparation means more flexibility, less pressure before the recertification audit and sustainable process optimisation.

Conclusion

ISO 9001:2026 is more than just a change in standards – it is a springboard for future-proof quality management. Take advantage of this opportunity to further develop and position your company!
