The committee, the ICS and the kind of document
The document is an International Standard in its first edition, prepared by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42, Artificial intelligence, under ICS 35.020, Information technology in general. It is a methodology, not a management system standard and not a certification scheme.
The requirement in plain English
The document is an International Standard in its first edition, prepared by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42, Artificial intelligence, under ICS 35.020, Information technology in general. It is a methodology, not a management system standard and not a certification scheme.
What the public record says
The ISO record names the committee, the ICS, the edition and the document type. It also lists four Sustainable Development Goals.
Why it matters to you
The committee tells you who to watch for the next draft and the companion documents. The ICS tells a librarian or a procurement system where the document sits. The document type tells you what it can and cannot do: a methodology can be adopted and cited, but it does not certify anyone, and it does not create a transition deadline the way a management system standard revision can. If a supplier claims certification to this document, the claim is wrong on its face.
Evidence a reviewer asks for
- The committee and ICS recorded in the standards register.
- A note that the document is a methodology, not a certifiable management system.
- The SDG mapping, if your organisation reports against them.
Checks to run this month
- Does the register record the committee and the document type?
- Has anyone described the document as a certification?
- Which companion documents from SC 42 do you already track?
