TS EN ISO 9001/A1

TS EN ISO 9001/A1 is an amendment to the core requirements standard for quality management systems, adding climate action changes to ISO 9001. Rather than standing as a separate quality management standard, it updates the existing 9001 framework so organisations can take climate-related considerations into account within their quality management context. In practical terms, the topic is how quality management, organisational context, and external environmental factors interact.

Where climate action fits in quality management

Quality management systems provide a structured way to control processes, deliver consistent products and services, and meet customer and regulatory expectations. In this setting, climate action refers to updates that encourage organisations to consider climate-related risks, opportunities, and external influences when understanding their context. This is general technical context: it helps users interpret the amendment as part of broader management-system thinking, not as a replacement for the underlying quality management approach.

What this amendment represents

• It is an amendment linked to ISO 9001, so it should be read alongside the parent requirements standard.
• It adds climate-related context to the quality management system framework rather than creating a standalone system.
• It supports common quality management concepts such as process approach, risk-based thinking, and interested-party expectations in a climate-aware context.
• It should be understood as an updated part of the existing standard family, not as an independent certification standard.
