ISO/IEC 42001 Certification for AI Management Systems

Secure and traceable processes in AI management systems

Many companies are increasingly adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI), often in sensitive, safety-critical, or regulated areas. While AI offers significant opportunities, it also brings new demands for transparency, security, and accountability.
The international standard ISO/IEC 42001 provides a structured framework for a certifiable AI management system. We offer independent certification of your system, ensuring compliance with internationally recognized standards.
The benefits of certifying your AI management system:
  • Demonstrate responsible and compliant AI usage
  • Build trust through documented processes and a clearly defined AI lifecycle
  • Mitigate risks with structured risk management and clearly assigned responsibilities
  • Meet legal and regulatory requirements using a recognized audit framework

Your ISO 42001 Certification at a Glance

The use of Artificial Intelligence raises fundamental questions for many companies. How can AI applications be made transparent? Which risks need to be assessed and managed? And how can compliance with ethical and regulatory requirements be ensured—especially in a rapidly evolving environment?
ISO/IEC 42001 is designed for organizations of all sizes that develop, operate, or use AI systems. It provides a structured framework to manage AI in a transparent and traceable way.
As part of the certification process, our experts assess whether your management system meets these requirements and whether risks, responsibilities, and processes are clearly defined and properly documented.
1. InformationReview of the documentation for the AI management system and verification of completeness and compliance with the standard.
2. On-Site Certification
  • Stage 1: Examination of the submitted documents.
  • Stage 2: Assessment of the practical implementation of the AI management system on-site.
3. Audit Report and EvaluationDocumentation of the audit and evaluation of the management system.
4. Certificate and SealUpon successful certification, you will receive your certificate and the DEKRA seal (valid for up to three years).
5. First Surveillance AuditAudit of the practical implementation of the certified AI management system within the organization.
6. Second Surveillance AuditRepeated audit to ensure ongoing compliance with the standard and the effectiveness of the system.
7. RecertificationThree years after initial certification, steps 2–6 are repeated during the recertification audit.
ISO 42001 is the first internationally recognized standard for AI management systems. Developed by ISO and IEC, it provides organizations of all sizes with a structured framework for responsible, compliant, and transparent AI usage.
The standard covers risk management, governance, compliance, data handling, transparency, and continuous improvement, helping you:
  • Build trust in your AI applications
  • Minimize risks and ensure accountability
  • Meet regulatory and ethical requirements
ISO 42001 is compatible with other management system standards, like ISO 27001, and can be seamlessly integrated into your existing systems, enabling you to leverage AI opportunities safely and reliably.
