Dear all,
On February 2025 the new version of the ISO 37001 standard has been issued (version ISO 37001:2025) which replaces the current version (ISO 37001:2016).
Based on the requirements of IAF (International Accreditation Forum), those of our Accreditation Body (ESYD) and according to our procedures the following apply:
Important: Those who have a certificate issued by Q-CERT and have a validity (Certification Period Ending) beyond March 1, 2027 should be aware that their Certification Period Ending is February 28, 2027 and not the one documented on the certificate. Organizations that have such certificates will receive an updated certificate with the abovementioned expiration date.
Transition Procedure to the new version of the standard (ISO 37001:2025)
Based on the required changes the following apply:
- Transition to the new version during a Recertification audit:
✓ In this case at least two hours will be added in audit duration. - Transition to the new version within the certification cycle:
- Conduct the transition during a routine surveillance audit. In this case additional audit time of at least two (2) hours depending on the complexity of the activities and the size of the company will be needed.
- Conduct the transition as a standalone (special) audit. In this case at least half a day (4 hours) will be needed.
