ISO 9001:2015 — superseded edition

Historical edition record. ISO lists ISO 9001:2026 as the replacement; certificate transition arrangements require separate confirmation.

Requirement overview

Authority or scheme owner
International Organization for Standardization
Current status
ISO lists the 2026 edition as published and the 2015 edition as withdrawn.
Who may need it
Historical edition reference only. Use the replacement record for current overview information and confirm any existing certificate transition with its certification body.
Exemptions and limits
No universal business license is created by ISO 9001. Establish the intended QMS scope and assess any exclusions against the applicable edition.
Application or assessment
Define the quality management system scope, implement it, and select an independent certification body if certification is needed. ISO does not issue certificates.
Renewal and ongoing review
Confirm surveillance, recertification and the 2015-to-2026 transition arrangements with the certification body. No universal transition deadline is asserted here.
Fees
Certification costs require a scope-specific quote from the certification body; buying the standard is a separate cost.
