ISO 42001
Сертифікація

What Is Сертифікація ISO 42001?

ISO 42001 certification is the formal recognition that your organisation has implemented an Система управління ШІ (AIMS) that meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 42001:2023 — the world's first international standard for managing artificial intelligence responsibly. Сертифікація is awarded following a successful independent audit conducted by a recognised certification body.

An ISO 42001 certificate demonstrates to clients, regulators, investors, and the public that your organisation has established systematic processes for governing AI systems. This includes AI risk assessment, AI impact assessment, data governance, transparency, human oversight, and continual improvement — all verified by independent auditors with expertise in AI governance.

The certification is applicable to any organisation that develops, provides, or uses AI systems, regardless of size, sector, or geography. Whether you are building large language models, deploying machine translation, using AI-powered analytics, or integrating third-party AI tools into your products, ISO 42001 certification provides a structured framework for responsible AI management.

Benefits of Getting ISO 42001 Certified

ISO 42001 certification delivers measurable business value across multiple dimensions. Organisations that achieve certification gain a significant competitive advantage in an increasingly AI-regulated marketplace.

The relationship between ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act is particularly significant. As the EU AI Act enters full enforcement, organisations that are already ISO 42001 certified will have a substantial head start on compliance. The standard addresses risk management, transparency, human oversight, and technical documentation — all core requirements of the EU AI Act.

Сертифікація Process: Step by Step

BALTUM's ISO 42001 certification process is designed to be efficient and minimally disruptive. Our SMAuditor platform streamlines documentation review and evidence collection, allowing most organisations to achieve certification in 2-4 weeks.

Stage 1: Documentation Review

Your assigned auditor reviews your AIMS documentation through the SMAuditor platform. This includes your AI policy, risk assessment methodology, statement of applicability, AI impact assessment process, and supporting procedures. The auditor provides detailed feedback and identifies any gaps that need to be addressed before proceeding to Stage 2. This stage is typically completed within 3-5 business days.

Stage 2: Implementation Assessment

The Stage 2 audit verifies that your Система управління ШІ is implemented and operating effectively. Your auditor walks through your AI governance processes, reviews evidence of implementation, interviews relevant team members, and assesses the effectiveness of your AI-specific controls. This stage typically takes 2-4 hours for most organisations and is conducted via the SMAuditor platform.

Certificate Issuance

Upon successful completion of both audit stages, your ISO 42001 certificate is issued. The certificate is valid for 3 years, with annual surveillance audits to confirm ongoing conformity. A full recertification audit is conducted at the end of the 3-year cycle.

Timeline and Pricing

The typical timeline from application to certification is 2-4 weeks, depending on your organisation's readiness and documentation completeness. Organisations that already have a management system in place (such as ISO 27001 or ISO 9001) can often achieve certification faster due to existing processes and documentation.

Pricing is determined by the size and complexity of your organisation, the number of AI systems in scope, and whether you are pursuing standalone or combined certification. Контакти our team for a tailored quotation — initial consultations are always free and without obligation.

We offer flexible payment options and package discounts for combined certifications. Enterprise clients with multiple sites or business units benefit from group pricing arrangements.
