STB BS EN ISO 9001-2015 + A1-2024 — Product title as provided. Official designation: BS EN ISO 9001:2015 + A1:2024 — Quality management systems — Requirements. This entry reflects the ISO 9001:2015 international standard together with Amendment 1 (A1:2024), which introduces targeted changes to integrate climate-related considerations into the requirements and their regional/adopted British/European designation.

Abstract

This publication is the ISO 9001:2015 standard as amended by Amendment 1 (A1:2024). The amendment (Amd.1:2024) adds explicit references to climate change in the context and interested-party requirements (notably updates to clauses 4.1 and 4.2), prompting organisations to determine whether climate change is a relevant issue and to consider climate-related expectations of interested parties while maintaining the existing QMS requirements for customer focus, leadership, risk-based thinking and continual improvement.

Scope

ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and aims to enhance customer satisfaction. Amendment A1:2024 modifies the standard’s contextual requirements by adding explicit consideration of whether climate change is a relevant issue for the organisation and by noting that interested parties may have climate-related requirements. The amendment does not alter the core structure or the normative requirements of ISO 9001:2015 beyond these targeted additions.

Key topics and requirements

• Integration of climate change consideration into clause 4.1 (Understanding the organisation and its context): organisations shall determine whether climate change is a relevant issue.
• Addition to clause 4.2 (Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties): clarification that interested parties may have climate-related requirements which the organisation should consider.
• Continued emphasis on fundamental ISO 9001 themes: customer focus, leadership, process approach, risk-based thinking, evidence-based decision making and continual improvement.
• Expectation for organisations to assess operational and strategic impacts of climate-related issues where relevant, and to reflect those assessments in their QMS planning and controls.
• Alignment with broader moves to reflect environmental and sustainability risks in management-system standards and national adoptions of the amendment.

Typical use and users

Organisations of any size or sector implementing a quality management system or seeking ISO 9001 certification or maintenance of certification; certification bodies and auditors updating audit checklists to reflect A1:2024 considerations; management-system consultants and internal/QHSE teams aligning QMS documentation and risk/context analyses with the amendment; regulators and procurement bodies referencing up-to-date QMS requirements. The amendment is intended to be applied proportionately to an organisation’s context and risk profile.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is ISO 9001:2015 (requirements for quality management systems) together with Amendment 1:2024 (A1:2024) — adopted as BS EN ISO 9001:2015+A1:2024 where a British/EN edition is published. The amendment introduces focused climate-related wording into the standard’s contextual requirements.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The base standard sets out the requirements for a quality management system applicable to any organisation. Amendment A1:2024 specifically adds requirements for organisations to determine whether climate change is a relevant issue (clause 4.1) and to recognise that interested parties may have climate-related requirements (clause 4.2), while leaving the general QMS requirements intact.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Organisations seeking to implement or maintain ISO 9001 certification, certification bodies and auditors, consultants and internal quality and management teams, and any stakeholder who relies on up-to-date QMS requirements (procurement, regulators).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current — the amendment (ISO 9001/A1:2024) was published in 2024 and has been adopted by national bodies (published as BS EN ISO 9001:2015+A1:2024 in the BSI catalogue). Organisations should use the amended text where their national adoption is in force. Check your national standards body for the exact national publication/adoption date applicable to your country.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 9001 is part of the ISO 9000 family (ISO 9000, ISO 9004, related guidance) and sits within the wider set of ISO management-system standards; Amendment A1:2024 is one of several 2024 updates/amendments addressing climate and sustainability across management-system standards.
