We have detailed key information below.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<h2>Important Updates to ISO International Standards<\/h2>\r\n<p>On 23rd February 2024, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) released amendments to several widely used ISO standards, including:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"\/uk\/standards\/iso-9001\/\">ISO 9001<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"\/uk\/standards\/iso-14001\/certification\/\">ISO 14001<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"\/uk\/standards\/iso-27001\/certification\/\">ISO 27001<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"\/uk\/standards\/iso-45001\/certification\/\">ISO 45001<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"\/uk\/standards\/iso-22301\/certification\/\">ISO 22301<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>These revisions address critical aspects related to climate change, aiming to enhance organisational resilience and sustainability.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong> Key amendments explained<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>The amendments introduce two additions concerning climate change:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>In section 4.1 of these standards, organisations are now required to evaluate the relevance of climate change to their management systems.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Additionally, a new note in section 4.2 highlights that relevant interested parties may have requirements related to climate change.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">1. Why were these requirements added?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO<\/a> incorporated these amendments to align with the London Declaration on Climate Change, stressing the obligation for organisations to assess climate change&#8217;s impact comprehensively.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>2. What does this mean for a certified organisation?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Organisations must review whether climate change affects their management systems, potentially leading to significant adjustments.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>3. What are the expectations?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Organisations are expected to thoroughly analyse both internal and external issues, including the needs of interested parties, to determine what needs to be addressed in their management system.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>4. Do these amendments change the intent of the requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>No, these amendments simply highlight the potential relevance of climate change within management systems.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>5. What is the transition timing for the implementation of these requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>There is no specified transition timeline; the requirements are effective immediately.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>6. Will my auditor focus on this requirement at my next audit?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>While auditors may inquire about this new requirement, it won&#8217;t be the primary focus. However, it will be discussed alongside other external factors impacting the management system.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>7. What if an organisation decides that climate change isn\u2019t a relevant issue?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Organisations can make this determination as long as it is supported by factual evidence.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>8. How can I obtain the amendment to read the actual wording?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>You can access a copy from your local standards organisation or directly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/obp\/ui\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access the amended climate wording online<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>9.
