Certification

Certification assesses a defined management system against specified criteria. It is different from a professional course certificate, an advisory readiness review and statutory product conformity assessment. Check the certification body’s scope and accreditation where relevant.

• What to expect from an audit — stages, evidence, findings and follow-up
• Audit readiness — prepare evidence and close gaps
• ISO/IEC 42001 — the AI management system standard and its limits
