ISO/IEC 42006 — Information technology — Artificial intelligence — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of artificial intelligence management systems
An international standard defining competence and quality requirements for organizations that audit and certify AI management systems.
It establishes the accreditation criteria for third-party registrars, ensuring that certifications of ISO/IEC 42001 AI management systems are credible, rigorous, and globally recognized.
An enterprise preparing for ISO/IEC 42001 certification reviews ISO/IEC 42006 to understand auditor competence expectations and audit process requirements ahead of external audits.
The standard applies directly to audit and certification bodies rather than AI deployers; an accredited audit verifies management system conformity, not infallible model performance.
ISO/IEC 42006 specifies requirements for conformity assessment bodies auditing and certifying AI management systems against ISO/IEC 42001. It defines auditor competence criteria across AI technologies, legal principles, and risk management, along with audit planning, execution, and reporting standards to ensure consistent certification credibility.
