ISO 42001 Certification

Secure and traceable processes in AI management systems

Many companies now use artificial intelligence (AI), often in sensitive, safety-critical or regulated areas. Alongside the many opportunities this brings, it also creates new demands for transparency, security and accountability.

The international standard ISO/IEC 42001 provides a structured framework for a certifiable management system for the use of AI. We certify your system independently, based on internationally recognized standards.
The benefits of certifying your AI management system
  • Demonstrate the responsible and compliant use of AI
  • Build trust with documented processes and a clearly defined AI lifecycle
  • Reduce risks through structured risk management and clear accountability
  • Meet legal and regulatory requirements with an internationally recognized audit framework

Your ISO 42001 certification at a glance

The use of artificial intelligence raises fundamental questions for many companies. How can AI applications be designed transparently? Which risks need to be assessed and managed? How can compliance with ethical and regulatory requirements be ensured, especially in a rapidly evolving environment?
ISO/IEC 42001 is intended for companies of all sizes that develop, operate, or use AI systems. It provides a structured framework for making AI usage clear and comprehensible. As part of the certification process, our experts will assess whether your management system meets these requirements, and whether risks, responsibilities, and processes are clearly defined and documented.
1. Information
Review of documentation relating to the AI management system and verification of documents for completeness and compliance with standards
2. On-site certification
In stage 1, the submitted documents are reviewed. In stage 2, the practical implementation of the AI management system in the company is evaluated on site
3. Audit report and evaluation
Documentation of the audit and evaluation of the management system
4. Certificate and seal
After successful completion of the certification process, you will receive your certificate and the DEKRA test seal (valid for a maximum of three years).
5. Initial surveillance audit
Audit of the practical implementation of the certified AI management system in the company
6. Second surveillance audit
Repeated audit to ensure ongoing compliance with standards and effectiveness of the system
7. Recertification
Three years after initial certification, steps 2 to 6 are repeated in the recertification audit
Note: The ISO 42001 standard is currently only available in English language.
ISO 42001 is the first internationally recognized standard for management systems related to the use of artificial intelligence. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) together with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), it provides companies with a structured framework for the responsible and compliant use of AI.
The standard is designed for organizations of all sizes that develop, operate, or use AI systems. ISO 42001 sets out requirements for risk management, governance, compliance, data processing, transparency, and continuous improvement. Its aim is to strengthen trust in AI applications and make them more transparent.
In terms of structure, ISO 42001 is comparable to other management system standards, such as ISO 27001, and can be integrated into existing systems. It helps companies systematically leverage opportunities, minimize risks, and reliably meet regulatory requirements.
