New editions of a standard

ISO revises its standards every few years. ISO 9001:2026 was published in September 2026 and ISO 14001:2026 in April 2026. A certificate to the previous edition stays valid for a transition period of about three years. Before it ends, your certification body checks in a transition audit, or at a recertification, that you meet the new edition.

The transition plan

When a new edition of one of your standards is out, the page of that standard shows a short notice with how many changes you reviewed. The dashboard also lists the transition under Needs attention until every change is reviewed. Choose See the transition plan to open it.

The plan shows:

• how many changes you reviewed so far
• the last day certificates to the previous edition are valid. When the accreditation bodies have not confirmed that date yet, Peilaro says it is expected and asks you to check it with your certification body.
• the transition or recertification audit you planned under Certificates, or a link to plan one
• each change, summarised in our own words, with a link to the clause it affects

Reviewing a change

Read the change, open the clause and adjust how you describe your way of working, your proof or your evidence where needed. Then choose Mark reviewed. Your name and the date are kept with the mark and the activity log shows it. Choose Undo to take the mark off again. Every member can mark changes.

Peilaro does not hold the text of the standards. Buy the new edition from NEN or ISO for the exact wording, and use the plan as a checklist next to it.

When the transition period has ended, the plan and the notice disappear.
