ISO 9001/14001/45001 Requirements Comparison

The most recent versions of ISO Management Standards (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018) have identical structure.

This can be very useful when building an Integrated Management System taking into account several standards requirements.


All three international standards mentioned above contain the following clauses:

• Context of the organization
• Leadership
• Planning
• Support
• Operation
• Performance evaluation
• Improvement

Having so much in common it is clear that IMS minimizes the duplication of a number of key clauses (Risks, Communication, Nonconformity and corrective actions, Continual improvement, etc.). Simplified documentation helps make better choices and allows almost real-time decisions.

Download ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 Requirements Comparison in PDF format and use it as reference materials (or in staff/auditors' training).

A system audit vs. a process audit

ISO 9001:2015 defines a System as a set of interrelated processes.
While a Process is a set of interrelated or interacting activities, which transforms inputs into outputs.

When auditing, it is important to deeply understand the difference between the two and the moment when a group of processes become a system. Conducting system and process audits at the same time could be confusing and ineffective.

On the document triangle below the first two levels describe the System in a whole, while the two bottom levels describe the process.

System audits start from the top moving down into details, while the process audits start from the bottom of the document pyramid.

To summarize from the auditing perspective:

• A system audit is an audit of a system or subsystem against system requirements. (conformity or nonconformity of the system).
• A process audit is an audit of individual processes against predetermined process steps or activities. (inefficiencies and areas for improvement).
