ISO 9001:2026 transition kit

The documents of a quality management system that the 2026 edition changed, filled in from your answers: no blank templates to rewrite. For organizations moving from ISO 9001:2015 and for those starting out. English; Word and CSV files.

See first what changed in ISO 9001:2026, clause by clause, with a free gap check.

Organization
Scope (4.3)
For example: machining and assembly of aluminium parts for automotive customers.

Market, customers, laws, technology, suppliers. One per line.

One per line as "party: requirements", for example "Customers: on-time delivery, certificates of conformity".
New in 2026: which of those requirements your system addresses. One per line.
Leadership, policy and culture (5.1 to 5.3)
Name or role, for example Quality manager.
For example: grow our share of automotive work.
A whole number, 1 to 36.

What changed in 2026: does your system cover it?

Tick what is already in place. The rest is marked open in the gap checklist.

0 of 13 changes covered

Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Your business details stay in this browser for next time.

How it works

  1. Answer what you know: scope, context, roles, values, risks, opportunities, objectives, providers, processes. Leave the rest empty.
  2. Tick the 2026 changes your system already covers.
  3. Buy once and download a ZIP of 16 Word files and 3 CSV files. Everything you left empty is marked [TO COMPLETE].
  4. Check each file against your copy of the standard, complete it and have top management approve it.

What the kit never guesses

  • A risk gets a level only from two whole ratings 1 to 5 (likelihood × impact), and an evaluation only against a whole acceptance level 1 to 25.
  • A 2026 change counts as covered only when you ticked it.
  • A requirement you do not apply needs your reason; without one the file says [TO COMPLETE].

Questions

Is this the ISO 9001:2026 standard?

No. The kit is written in our own words and gives clause numbers for reference. Buy the standard from ISO or your national standards body; you need it to implement the system.

Does it work if we are certified to ISO 9001:2015?

Yes, that is what it is for. The gap checklist lists every clause that changed, and the documents cover the new points: quality culture, separate risks and opportunities, the 6.3 change considerations, customer communication on disruptions and the split management review inputs.

Does it make us certified?

No. Certification needs a working system and an audit by an accredited certification body. The kit gives you filled drafts to review, complete and approve.

What happens to what we type?

It stays in this browser. The Word files are built on your computer; nothing is uploaded.

Can we buy both kits together?

Yes: the ISO 9001:2026 and ISO 14001:2026 kits together cost $79 once instead of $98. One payment opens each kit on its own page, for one organization; the organization details you type are shared by both.
