      Quick answers
      
ISO 9001:2026 in plain terms
    
    

      

        
What is ISO 9001:2026?
        
ISO 9001:2026 is the revised edition of ISO 9001, the international standard for quality management systems. It replaces ISO 9001:2015. ISO classifies it as a technical revision: the ten-clause structure, the process approach, PDCA and risk-based thinking are kept. The main changes are new requirements on quality culture and ethical behaviour, a clearer separation of risks and opportunities, stronger planning of changes, climate change written into context, terms and definitions inside the standard, an expanded Annex A and the removal of Annex B.
        
Based on ISO/FDIS 9001:2026 and the CQI briefing note (June 2026).
      
      

        
Do I need ISO 9001:2026 transition training?
        
Certified organizations have a transition period, expected to be three years from publication, to move their certificate to ISO 9001:2026. Auditors, QMS managers and internal auditors need to know the revised requirements before then. CQI IRCA has not released a certified two-day transition course for this revision; auditors demonstrate the update through CPD. A structured two-hour awareness course covering every changed clause is a proportionate way to do that, and the certificate is your record.
        
Confirm the final transition deadline with your certification body once IAF publishes it.

What changed from ISO 9001:2015 to ISO 9001:2026
      
Select a change to see the 2015 position, the 2026 position and what it means in practice. The course covers all of these and the smaller wording changes in every clause.
    
    

      Clause 5.1.1 · 7.3
Quality culture and ethical behaviour
The one change that adds a new obligation.
      Clause 6.1

      Who it is for
      
Auditors, implementers, and anyone who needs to know the difference
      
The course assumes working familiarity with ISO 9001:2015. It teaches what changed, not ISO 9001 from scratch. Pick your role to see how you would use it.
    
    

      CQI IRCA certified auditors
      QMS managers and implementers
      Internal auditors, consultants, learners
    

    

      

        
Update your QMS auditor knowledge to the 2026 edition
        

          
Learn what an auditor now looks for under each revised clause, including quality culture, 6.1.3 opportunities, 6.3 change planning and 9.2.2 audit objectives
          
Understand why Annex A informs intent but is never audit criteria
          
Record two hours of structured CPD with a dated certificate of completion
          
Keep your ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor certificate current without repeating a five-day course
        
      
      

        How this works with CQI IRCA membership
        
CQI IRCA has not released a certified 2-day transition course for ISO 9001:2026, unlike the 2008 to 2015 revision. Auditors update through CPD completed at an Approved Training Partner. If you already hold a CQI IRCA certified ISO 9001:2015 QMS Lead Auditor course certificate, this course is your ISO 9001:2026 CPD evidence when you apply for or maintain QMS Auditor grade membership. If you do not hold that certificate, see the ISO 9001:2026 Lead Auditor course starting October 2026.
      
    

    

      

        
Plan your organization's transition to ISO 9001:2026
        

          
A 2015 vs 2026 table for every clause, classified as new requirement, restructure or wording only, so you know where to spend effort
          
QMS actions for each change: what to review, what to add, and what you do not need to change
          
Guidance on quality culture and ethical behaviour, the only change that creates a new obligation
          
A transition approach you can apply immediately: awareness, gap review, action, verification
        
      
      

        Six things you do not have to do
        
Renumber your documents, restructure your QMS, withdraw your quality manual, adopt particular risk tools, adopt the standard's vocabulary, or audit against Annex A. Module 10 covers each of these so the transition stays proportionate.
      
    

    

      

        
Understand the difference between the old and new standard

Learners and anyone who trained on ISO 9001:2015 and wants to stay current
        
      
      

        Two hours, then you are current
        
Ten short modules, each with a clear statement of what changed, an interpretation, and sample questions with worked answers. No prior CQI IRCA course is needed to enrol. You need working knowledge of ISO 9001:2015 to get full value.

      Frequently asked
      
ISO 9001:2026 transition – frequently asked questions
    
    

            

        What is ISO 9001:2026?+
        
ISO 9001:2026 is the 2026 edition of ISO 9001, the international standard for quality management systems (QMS). It replaces ISO 9001:2015. It is a technical revision: the ten-clause structure, the process approach, PDCA and risk-based thinking are unchanged. The main changes are requirements on quality culture and ethical behaviour, separation of risks from opportunities in Clause 6.1, strengthened planning of changes in 6.3, climate change in Clause 4, terms and definitions inside the standard, an expanded Annex A and the removal of Annex B.
      
      

        What are the key changes in ISO 9001:2026 compared with ISO 9001:2015?+
        
The foreword names six changes: (1) core management system terms and definitions are now included in Clause 3; (2) quality culture and ethical behaviour are introduced, with requirements at 5.1.1 and 7.3; (3) risks and opportunities are more clearly separated, with 6.1 split into 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and 6.1.3; (4) planning of changes at 6.3 is strengthened; (5) Annex A is expanded to cover every clause; (6) Annex B is removed. Other changes include climate change in 4.1 and 4.2, customer satisfaction at 9.1.2, audit objectives at 9.2.2, new management review inputs at 9.3.2 and a restructured Clause 10. The course covers all of them clause by clause.
      
      

        When was ISO 9001:2026 published and how long is the transition period?+
        
ISO/FDIS 9001:2026 was issued in 2026 and the final standard is being published in the second half of 2026. Based on previous revisions, IAF is expected to set a three-year transition period from the publication date, so certified organizations would need to transition by 2029. Certificates to ISO 9001:2015 remain valid until the end of the transition period. Confirm the exact deadline with your certification body once IAF publishes its transition arrangements.
      
      

        Do I need ISO 9001:2026 transition training?+
        
There is no legal requirement, but auditors, QMS managers and internal auditors need to know the revised requirements before their organization or clients transition. For CQI IRCA certificated auditors, an update to the new edition is part of maintaining competence and is recorded as CPD. This two-hour course covers every changed clause and issues a dated certificate of completion, which serves as that record.
      
      

        Is this course CQI IRCA certified? Why is there no 2-day CQI IRCA transition course for ISO 9001:2026?+
        
No. This is a CPD awareness course delivered by 3FOLD Training, a CQI IRCA Approved Training Partner, and not a CQI IRCA certified course. For the 2008 to 2015 revision CQI IRCA ran a certified two-day transition course. For ISO 9001:2026 CQI IRCA has not released a certified transition course; its position is that auditors update through CPD, which can be completed at an Approved Training Partner. This course is that CPD. Learners who already hold a CQI IRCA certified ISO 9001:2015 QMS Lead Auditor certificate can use it as their ISO 9001:2026 evidence when applying for or maintaining QMS Auditor grade membership. The certificate is issued by 3FOLD and does not carry a CQI IRCA certified course mark.
      
      

        I have never attended a CQI IRCA QMS course. Is this course enough?+
        
It is enough to understand the changes, but it does not replace a CQI IRCA certified Lead Auditor course and it does not qualify you for CQI IRCA auditor membership on its own. If you want CQI IRCA certification as a QMS auditor, join our CQI IRCA certified ISO 9001:2026 QMS Lead Auditor Training Course, which starts in October 2026. Contact us on WhatsApp at +971 50 481 9989 for the dates.
      
      

        Who should take the ISO 9001:2026 transition course?+
        
CQI IRCA certified QMS auditors updating to the 2026 edition; quality managers and management representatives planning their organization's transition; internal auditors updating checklists and audit programmes; consultants and certification body staff; and anyone who trained on ISO 9001:2015 and wants to understand the differences. The course assumes working knowledge of ISO 9001:2015. It teaches what changed, not ISO 9001 from the beginning.
      
      

        How long is the course and how is it delivered?+
        
The course takes about 120 minutes: ten module pages (100 minutes) and a 20-question final quiz (20 minutes). It is fully self-paced on the 3FOLD learning platform (3foldlearn.com) and works on desktop, tablet and phone. The content is written reading material with comparison tables and worked examples; there is no video. You can stop and resume at any time, and your access is valid for 180 days from enrolment.
      
      

        What is the assessment and pass mark?+
        
One final quiz of 20 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions, drawn from a bank of about 40. The pass mark is 80% (16 out of 20). Attempts are unlimited and the highest grade counts. Each module also contains two unscored sample questions with worked answers so you can check your understanding before the quiz.
      
      

        How long do I have access to the course?+
        
Your access to the course on the 3FOLD Learning Management System is valid for 180 days from the date of enrolment. Within that period you can read the modules as many times as you like, retake the quiz and download your certificate and the course handbook. Most learners finish in a single sitting of about two hours.
      
      

        What certificate will I receive?+
        
A 3FOLD Training certificate of completion in PDF, issued immediately when you pass the quiz. It states the course title, the standard edition (ISO 9001:2026), the duration (2 hours) and the date. It is a CPD certificate and does not carry a CQI IRCA certified course logo. A sample is shown on this page.
      
      

        How much does the ISO 9001:2026 transition course cost?+
        
AED 100 plus 5% UAE VAT, so AED 105 in total (about USD 29). Payment is by card through Telr. Group rates are available for five or more learners from one organization.
      
      

        Is the course useful if I implement the QMS rather than audit it?+
        
Yes. Each module separates the actions for the QMS owner from what an auditor would look for. You get a 2015 versus 2026 table for every clause, classified as new requirement, restructure or wording only, and Module 10 covers a practical transition approach: awareness, gap review, action and verification. It also lists what you do not have to do, such as renumbering documents or withdrawing a quality manual.
      
      

        When can I start?+
        
Immediately. There are no cohort dates. Your login is emailed after payment, usually within a few hours and at most within 24 hours, and you can complete the course the same day.
