SBS has analyzed the new draft ISO 9001 document (draft ISO/DIS 9001:2025). Compared with ISO 9001:2015, the draft ISO/DIS 9001:2025 introduces these notable changes:

• Climate change becomes explicit in Clause 4.1, instead of only being inferable through context analysis.
• Interested party requirements may include climate-related expectations, made explicit in Annex A.
• Clause 6.1 is split into three subclauses: determining risks/opportunities, actions for risks, and actions for opportunities. In 2015, these were combined.
• The draft elevates quality culture and ethical behavior as recurring concepts, especially in leadership, policy, awareness, and customer communication.
• Organizational knowledge is expanded from simple retention/access into a fuller lifecycle: retain, apply, share, update, acquire.
• The draft adds stronger language around emerging technologies, digitalization, remote/hybrid work, data dependency, and confidentiality/information-loss risk.
• Several Annex A explanations expand interpretation around sustainability, ethics, customer experience, and integration with other management systems.
