ISO 42001 AI Management System
Achieve the world's first internationally recognised standard for AI management — and demonstrate responsible AI governance to your clients.
The EU AI Act is now in force. If your product or service uses AI and serves EU clients, ISO 42001 is the fastest route to demonstrable compliance.
Why Do You Need ISO 42001?
ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI management systems. It provides a framework for organisations to demonstrate responsible AI development, deployment and use.
As AI regulation accelerates globally, certification gives you a competitive advantage — showing clients, investors and regulators that your AI governance is robust and auditable.

ISO 42001 frequently asked questions
How long does ISO 42001 certification take?
Most organisations achieve certification within 3–6 months. The timeline depends on your starting point and the complexity of your AI systems.
Do we need ISO 27001 first?
No. ISO 42001 can be implemented independently. However, many organisations pursue both standards together, and we offer combined implementation programmes.
What is the cost of ISO 42001 certification?
Our fees are fixed and agreed upfront. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your organisation's size and complexity.
Can you help with the EU AI Act?
Yes. ISO 42001 is recognised as a strong framework for EU AI Act compliance. We can advise on how to align your AIMS with regulatory requirements.
