Two of the world's most widely adopted management system standards, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, are currently undergoing revision. ISO 14001:2026 was published in April 2026, and the publication of the revised ISO 9001:2026 is expected in September 2026. Following publication, organizations will typically have a three-year transition period to align their management systems with the new requirements. 

This 4-hour instructor-led online training session provides a practical and efficient overview of the key changes in both standards through an integrated management system perspective. The training is particularly beneficial for organizations that maintain certified quality and environmental management systems and wish to understand the combined impact of the revisions.

The session is scheduled from 09:00 to 13:00 and includes opportunities for questions and discussion throughout the training.
