While some may see no impact, others may need to adapt significantly.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Expectations from Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Organizations are expected to comprehensively analyze internal and external issues, along with the needs and expectations of relevant interested parties, to address concerns in their management systems.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Intent of the Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>These amendments do not change the original intent of the requirements. They simply highlight the potential impact of climate change within management systems.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Transition Timeline<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>No specific transition timeline was announced; the requirements are immediately effective and auditable.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Auditor Focus<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Auditors may inquire about these new requirements but will not heavily focus on them. They are part of ISO&#8217;s commitment to support the London Declaration.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Handling Non-Relevant Issues<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Organizations can decide that climate change isn&#8217;t a relevant issue as long as it&#8217;s supported by factual evidence.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Impact on Non-Certified Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The impact may vary; organizations need to determine if climate change needs incorporation into their risk assessment and action plans.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Broader Standards Affected<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Any standard using <a href=\"https:\/\/amtivo.com\/us\/resources\/insights\/what-is-annex-sl-and-why-is-it-important-for-iso-standards\/\">Annex SL<\/a> as a base set of requirements will be impacted, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, ISO 27001 and ISO 50001.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Accessing Amendments<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>You can obtain a copy of the amendments from your local standards organization or directly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/obp\/ui\/en\/#iso:std:iso:9001:ed-5:v1:amd:1:v1:en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via this link here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Further Resources<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Learn more about the London Declaration and its relation to ISO standards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/ClimateAction\/ISO-climate-commitment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via this link<\/a>.
