ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidelines Certification to ISO 31000:2009 ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidelines Published on 13 November 2009 Not intend for certification purpose (TC voting result requesting for GA resolution = 26/13/3)
Certification to ISO 31000:2009, Risk management – Principles and guidelines The General Assembly, acting on the recommendation of the Technical Committee, resolved that there will not be any accredited certification to ISO 31000:2009, Risk management – Principles and guidelines (publication date 13 November 2009). ISO 31000 explicitly states that it is not intended or appropriate for certification, and any certification would be a misuse of the standard. Therefore certification bodies are strongly urged not to promote or provide certification to ISO 31000 and Accreditation Bodies and Certification Bodies are requested to report any misuse or need for certification, to the ISO Secretariat.
