ISO 42001 Documentation toolkit

What Is ISO/IEC 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world's first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS) — providing a structured framework for organisations that develop, provide, or use AI systems to do so responsibly. It defines the requirements, principles, and controls for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AIMS, covering everything from AI governance, risk and impact assessment, and ethical use, through to AI lifecycle management, human oversight, transparency, and third-party oversight via its Annex A controls.

Whether you're a technology company building AI products, an enterprise deploying AI internally, a regulated organisation in finance, healthcare, or the public sector, or a vendor in the AI supply chain, ISO/IEC 42001 provides the recognised framework to demonstrate responsible AI governance — and to align with regulatory expectations under the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, and emerging national AI regulations.
