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.
