ISO 9001:2026 TRANSITION TRAINING - Preparing organizations for the next edition of ISO 9001

Preparing organizations for the next edition of ISO 9001

September 29, 2026
QSSI ISO 9001:2026 Transition Training
Be ready before the transition becomes urgent.

Is Your Quality Management System Ready for What Comes Next?

The next revision of ISO 9001 is moving into publication. ISO identifies the forthcoming sixth edition as ISO 9001:2026, with publication scheduled for September 2026. ISO 9001:2015 remains the current published edition until it is replaced. QSSI's ISO 9001:2026 Transition Training is designed to help organizations understand the transition and prepare their people, processes, and management systems ahead of the change.

The question is not whether your organization will be affected. The question is whether you will be ready.

Why ISO 9001 Still Matters

• Improve operational efficiency and reduce recurring problems.
• Strengthen customer satisfaction and stakeholder confidence.
• Clarify accountability and support evidence-based decisions.
• Identify risks and opportunities before they become disruptions.
• Build continual improvement and organizational resilience.

What Is Driving the Transition?

1. Digitalization & Automation — ERP systems, cloud platforms, digital workflows and AI are changing how organizations design, operate and monitor processes. Your QMS should reflect how the business actually works.
2. Climate Change & Context — The 2024 climate-action amendment requires organizations to consider whether climate change is a relevant issue affecting the intended results of the QMS.
3. Organizational Resilience — Disruptions have highlighted the need to protect critical processes, people, suppliers, technology and customer commitments.
4. Integration & Alignment — Organizations increasingly operate multiple management systems. A harmonized approach can help quality, environmental, safety and information-security requirements work together.

Transition Watch: ISO reports that ISO/FDIS 9001 has been approved and the sixth edition is scheduled for publication on 16 September 2026.

What They Will Learn

• Understand the transition: recognize the direction of the revised standard and what it may mean for your organization.
• Evaluate current arrangements: identify strengths, gaps, risks, and improvement priorities within the existing QMS.
• Connect requirements to operations: translate quality-system requirements into practical business processes and evidence.
• Prepare people: strengthen awareness among leaders, process owners, internal auditors, and quality personnel.
• Plan the transition: establish practical actions, responsibilities, priorities and a controlled implementation roadmap.

How to Prepare Now

1. Audit Your Current QMS — Assess process performance, customer requirements, risks, corrective actions, internal audits and management-review outputs.
2. Strengthen Competence — Build awareness in ISO requirements, risk-based thinking, root-cause analysis, auditing and performance measurement.
3. Review Documentation — Confirm policies, procedures, work instructions, records, process maps and risk registers reflect operational reality.
4. Review Performance Evidence — Examine complaints, customer satisfaction, delivery, defects, supplier performance, corrective actions, audit results and improvement data.
5. Build a Transition Roadmap — Diagnose → prioritize → prepare → implement → verify → transition.

QSSI Expert Insight

"The transition should not be approached as a document-rewriting exercise. It is an opportunity to examine whether your management system is still capable of supporting your organization's strategy, customers, risks and future growth."
