Where the revision actually is
Three things about the next edition of ISO 9001 get repeated confidently and are not yet settled. This page holds what is actually known, and says plainly where the answer is that nobody has given.
Last checked July 25, 2026. A person updates this page; nothing here is scraped.
- ISO stage
- 50.20 — FDIS ballot · as of May 14, 2026
- Ballot
- Closed July 9, 2026. Not yet published. The ballot closed on the date above; ISO publishes the outcome on its own schedule and has not done so.
- When it publishes
- ISO's own project record targets publication in autumn 2026
- Several registrars expect it later than that, into the winter
We print the stage rather than a month, because the sources above disagree and one of them will be wrong.
- Transition deadline
- None has been set
Nobody has set one. Transition arrangements were issued by the IAF, which ceased operations on 1 January 2026; its successor has not published the mandatory document that would set a deadline. Any date you have seen for this is somebody's estimate.
Most of what a certified organisation will need to fix for the next edition is already required by the one in force. The Readiness Check asks about both in a single pass.
