Standards Update - What's Changing in 2026


Four of the management system standards most widely used by UK organisations are all moving at once. ISO 14001 and ISO 19011 have already been published in their new editions, ISO 9001 is in its final approval stage, and FSSC 22000 has just released Version 7. If your organisation holds certification, or is planning to, against any of these, it's worth understanding what's actually changed and by when you need to act.


This page brings together the current, verified status of each standard so you can plan with confidence rather than react to headlines.
