ISO/IEC 42001:2023
The international standard for an AI management system (AIMS), published by ISO and IEC in December 2023. It uses the ISO High Level Structure (Annex SL) and provides requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AI management system. It maps closely to the prEN 18286 structure (Annex D of prEN 18286 provides the correspondence), making it a strong foundation for Article 17 QMS implementation.
Defined in 6 GAGE programs, which carry 16 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in EU AI Act Implementation Expert.

A mature agent trail program provides direct evidentiary support toward this standard's operational-control and monitoring requirements.
The first international standard specifying requirements for an AI management system, published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in December 2023. It is voluntary but certifiable by an accredited third party.
