ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 revisions
Understanding what’s changing, what it means for your organisation and what to do next.
ISO STANDARD TRANSITIONS
WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
I think there’s still some time. I’ll sort it today.
Three standards. Three different stages. One clear route forward.
The world’s leading management system standards – ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are now published, bringing updated requirements and a new transition journey for certified organisations. ISO 45001 is also progressing through revisions.
Whether you hold one certification or several the Transition Club hub brings together the information and resources you need to understand the changes, identify what they mean for your organisation and take the right next steps.
LRQA’s Transition Club is your priority-access pass to:
- Expert breakdowns of the ISO updates
- Practical guidance, FAQs and video explainers
- Gap analysis tools and transition planning advice
- Invitations to exclusive webinars and training
- First access to new resources as they launch
ISO 9001 and 14001 revisions are coming. ISO 45001 is next.
The world’s most recognized management system standards are being updated, with new requirements, new expectations and a formal transition period on the way. These changes matter.

ISO 14001: 2026 was published in April 2026 and the transition period is now underway. Organisations must transition before May 2029. For certified organisations, the focus should now be on understanding how the revised requirements apply to your existing environmental management system, identifying any gaps and making the changes needed to support a controlled transition.

ISO 45001 | Revision underway
ISO 45001 is progressing through its revision, with the updated standard still moving through the standards development process. There is no need to begin a formal transition yet. Instead, keep informed about the direction of the revision, understand the emerging changes and make sure the right people in your organisation are aware of developments. LRQA will continue to provide guidance as the revision progresses and the final requirements become clearer.
