TECHNICAL GUIDE
What Is the ISO 9000 Family?
The ISO 9000 family separates quality-management vocabulary, requirements and improvement guidance. ISO 9000:2026 provides fundamentals and vocabulary; the current requirements edition is ISO 9001:2026, published on 16 September 2026. An existing ISO 9001:2015 certificate must be checked separately with its issuer; catalogue withdrawal alone does not establish expiry.
01
Direct answer
ISO 9000:2026 defines fundamentals and vocabulary; ISO 9001:2026 contains quality-management-system requirements; ISO 9004 gives guidance for sustained success. Certification concerns conformity with ISO 9001 requirements, not a generic ISO 9000 certificate. Confirm which edition and scope the issuer can assess.

Implementation route
- Define the organisation’s purpose, processes, interested parties and scope.
- Use ISO 9000 terminology as a common language for process owners.
- Run a gap assessment against ISO 9001 and establish the necessary controls and records.
- Verify operation through internal audit and management review.
- Where certification is required, select a body with suitable accredited scope and verify the certificate through official channels including IAF CertSearch.

ISO 9001:2026
ISO 9001:2026 is published, so ISO/FDIS 9001 is no longer the basis for describing the current edition as forthcoming. Obtain the actual edition and agree the applicable transition arrangements with the certification body and accreditation body. No universal deadline or automatic expiry of a 2015 certificate is established here; verify its status, scope and issuer authority separately.
