The ISO 9001:2026 Transition training course is designed to help participants understand the key differences between ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 9001:2026. It provides a structured overview of the revised standard, highlighting new and revised requirements, and key concepts introduced in ISO 9001:2026.
Why should you attend?
The course provides a detailed overview of the main changes introduced in the revised edition of ISO 9001, more than a decade after ISO 9001:2015. The revision reflects developments in the business environment, including changing customer expectations, technological advances, global risks, sustainability considerations, and evolving organizational needs. While the standard retains its established process approach and Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) framework, several requirements have been clarified, reorganized, or expanded.
The course covers key changes, including a stronger focus on quality culture and ethical behavior, a clearer distinction between risks and opportunities, and expanded requirements for planning changes to the QMS. It also addresses updates related to organizational context, interested parties, organizational knowledge, customer communication, design and development, performance evaluation, management review, and continual improvement. Together, these revisions support a more effective and responsive approach to quality management, customer satisfaction, and organizational performance.
Upon completion of the training course, participants will be eligible to take the exam. Successful candidates may apply for the “PECB Certified ISO 9001:2026 Transition” credential.
