Your welcome Marc. I am currently writing a book on management systems. The last three chapters and in my opinion, the most important chapters are Chapter 13 which introduces the new terms and concepts that were introduced by ISO in the 2015 and now the 2026 revisions of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001; Chapter 14 continues the work started by ISO in Chapter 13 which led to the High Level Structure which would be included in all new and revised Standards; and Chapter 15 covers the "Future of Management Systems and a Wish List for Improvements in the Management System Standards". My draft manuscript was basically complete but with the revisions of ISO 14001:2026 just published and ISO 9001:2026 expected to be published in September, I am going to hold off submitting my manuscript until I have a chance to update the last three chapters.

Greetings, everyone!
I've let the quiz idea lapse for a bit, but we're back with another one to help you show off your knowledge of standards, conformity assessment, quality, management systems, and more:
Which standard is NOT anticipated to be updated in 2026?
Submit your guesses below and we'll announce the correct answer later this month.
