(ISO: Geneva) -- The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has announced the launch of ISO 9001:2026—“Quality management systems—Requirements,” the new edition of the world’s leading quality management system standard.

Trusted by more than one million organizations worldwide, the updated edition of ISO 9001 reflects how business itself is changing, helping organizations strengthen resilience and deliver long-term value, meet evolving customer expectations, and serve increasingly interconnected global supply chains.

For almost four decades, ISO 9001 has provided organizations of every size and sector with a globally trusted framework for improving performance, building customer confidence, and driving continual improvement.

While maintaining the proven principles that have made it the international benchmark for quality management, the 2026 edition responds to an increasingly complex operating environment where organizations must balance resilience with innovation and adapt quickly to changing markets and technologies.
