Category: Management systems

A management system is the documented set of policies, processes and records an organisation uses to run one aspect of its business and prove it is under control. ISO publishes them for quality, information security, environment, occupational health and safety, business continuity, IT service management and more.
Since ISO adopted the Annex SL high-level structure, they share a common skeleton: clauses 4 to 10, covering context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. Clause 4 has the same shape whether you are reading ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or ISO 45001.
That shared structure is what makes an integrated management system practical. Rather than three sets of policies, three internal audit programmes and three management reviews, you run one system that satisfies several standards at once. Organisations that integrate typically cut audit time and eliminate the contradictions that appear when parallel systems drift apart.
The guides below cover integrated and unified management systems, and the individual standards for environment (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), business continuity (ISO 22301), IT service management (ISO 20000) and sector-specific quality standards for medical devices, automotive and food safety.
