ISO 45001 revision: scope and date check
This check answers three questions from the certificate you hold: which standard applies today, which date to plan for, and what to do at your next audit. It is computed by rule from the public stage record and the dates you enter. It does not decide conformity and it does not replace your certification body.
ISO 45001:2018, including Amendment 1:2024
That is the standard a certificate is issued against on 18 October 2026. The DIS does not change it until the new edition is published and the transition arrangements take effect.
What the check applies
| Input | How it is used | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Certified | The certificate is against the 2018 edition. Compare its expiry with the planning date and name the next audit where the transition can be booked. | ISO 45001:2018; ISO/DIS stage record |
| Implementing | Build and certify to the 2018 edition now. There is no certificate to transition, and designing for the draft does not replace the current requirement. | ISO 45001:2018 |
| Not started | Start with the 2018 edition and a three-year certification cycle; the revision will arrive inside that cycle. | ISO 45001:2018; planning date |
| Expiry | If it falls before the planning date, recertify to 2018. If it falls after, plan the transition at the next recertification or surveillance after publication. | Planning date, estimate |
| Integrated | An integrated audit with ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 can carry the transition at the same visit; the check says so and does not book it. | Audit practice, not a rule |
| Sites | More than one site adds sampling and matrix rules that the certificate body controls. The check names it. | Certification practice |
| Psychosocial | The draft names psychosocial hazards explicitly. The check returns a readiness note, not a scope verdict. | DNV; DQS; public draft contents |
Blank or impossible answers return "dates incomplete" and name what is missing. The check never guesses a lighter pathway.
What the check does not do
- It does not audit your system or decide whether you conform.
- It does not decide whether your certification body will accept a transition plan, or when its accreditation body will require one.
- It does not replace the IAF transition arrangements when they are published.
- It does not give legal advice, and it does not certify anything.
The rules this is built from
Nothing here is invented. The 40 requirements that apply today are read from the held ISO 45001:2018 record, each with the evidence an auditor asks for and the ways it commonly fails. The revision layer is read from the public ISO stage record, the public draft contents and two named certification-body summaries. Where the record is silent, the page says so.

Each clause page states the requirement in our words, the evidence, the gaps and what to do before the revision lands.
