We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that IAF and ISO have published a joint communiqué, highlighting the changes being made to a number of Management Systems standards. An additional text has been included to emphasize the importance of Climate Change as a consideration within the organizational context for the management system concerned.
Climate Change, along with other issues, should be determined as relevant or not, and if so, considered within an evaluation of risk within the scope of the management systems standards. Where an organization operates more than one management system (for example, Quality Management and Health and Safety Management), it should ensure that Climate Change, if determined to be relevant, is considered within the scope of each management system standard.
ISO published the climate change-related amendments to Management System Standards on February 2024 to incorporate two new statements addressing the need to consider the effect of Climate Change on the ability to achieve the intended results of the management system. The changes are introduced as Amendments to these published standards.
4.1 Understanding the organization and its context
The organization shall determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and that affect its ability to achieve the intended result(s) of its XXX management system.
Added:
The organization shall determine whether climate change is a relevant issue.
4.2 Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties.
The organization shall determine:
- the interested parties that are relevant to the XXX management system.
- the relevant requirements of these interested parties.
- which of these requirements will be addressed through the XXX management system.
Added:
Note: Relevant interested parties can have requirements related to climate change.
As a certified organization, please ensure that climate change issues are considered during the stages of design, development, and maintenance in the context of the effectiveness of the management system, in addition to all other issues.
