What is ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for artificial intelligence management systems (AIMS). It provides requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing, and improving an AI management system. The EU AI Act (2024/1689) is the EU regulation governing AI systems based on risk level.
Does your organization use AI?
ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act concern organizations that develop, use, or distribute AI systems. Common AI applications include:

Frequently asked questions about ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act
What is ISO 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for artificial intelligence management systems (AIMS). It provides organizations with a structured framework for managing risks and opportunities with AI in a responsible manner.
What is the relationship between ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act?
ISO 42001 provides a structured framework that helps organizations meet the requirements of the EU AI Act. By implementing ISO 42001, you build a foundation for handling the regulatory requirements in the EU AI Act, particularly around risk management, documentation, and governance.
Which organizations need ISO 42001?
All organizations that develop, use, or distribute AI systems should consider ISO 42001. This especially applies to organizations handling high-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act, or those wanting to demonstrate responsible AI use to customers and stakeholders.
How does ISO 42001 relate to ISO 27001?
ISO 42001 follows the same High-Level Structure (HLS) as ISO 27001 and can be integrated into an existing management system. Organizations with ISO 27001 have a good foundation to build on, but ISO 42001 adds AI-specific requirements such as AI risk assessment, data governance, and human oversight.
How long does it take to implement ISO 42001?
The timeframe varies depending on your current maturity level, number of AI systems, and organization size. An initial GAP analysis can be completed in a few days, while full implementation and certification may take 6-12 months. Start with our free GAP analysis for an initial assessment.
