TS EN ISO 22301/A1

TS EN ISO 22301/A1 is an amendment to ISO 22301 that addresses climate-action-related changes within the business continuity management systems framework. In practical terms, it belongs to the body of guidance and requirements used to help organisations maintain critical activities, prepare for disruption, and recover in an orderly way. The key point is that this listing represents a change document to the base standard, not a standalone business continuity standard in its own right.

How business continuity management is understood

Business continuity management systems help an organisation identify essential processes, understand disruption-related risks, plan recovery priorities, and manage resilience in a structured way. ISO 22301 is the internationally recognised reference for that management-system approach. As an amendment, TS EN ISO 22301/A1 should be read as updating part of that framework rather than replacing the underlying standard or providing a separate, complete set of requirements.

What climate-action changes mean in technical context

From a general technical perspective, climate-action-related changes connect business continuity with broader climate resilience thinking. This can include consideration of climate-driven hazards, supply-chain interruptions, infrastructure vulnerability, and the operational consequences of extreme weather or long-term environmental stress. The amendment title signals that the standard’s requirement structure is being aligned with this theme, while the detailed requirements remain in the parent document and the amendment text itself.

• Document type: Amendment 1 (A1), updating the parent standard.
• Subject area: business continuity management systems.
• Technical theme: climate-action-related changes and resilience context.
• Typical relevance: preparedness, continuity planning, and recovery capability.
• This record represents the amendment document, not the full base standard.
