What is ISO 19011:2026?
ISO 19011:2026 is the fourth edition of the international guidelines for auditing management systems, replacing ISO 19011:2018. It covers the principles of auditing, managing an audit programme, conducting audits, and evaluating auditor competence. It applies to internal and external audits across any type of management system, and it is guidance rather than a certifiable standard.
How does the ISO 19011:2026 Copilot help?
The Copilot helps you navigate the standard's guidance on the audit principles, the audit programme framework, the audit process, and auditor competence, and apply it to your internal and supplier audit programmes. Requirements for certification bodies themselves live in ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Does ISO 19011:2026 cover remote auditing?
Yes. The 2026 edition expands the remote-auditing guidance, incorporating ISO/IEC TS 17012:2024 and adding considerations for auditing virtual locations. The Copilot can help you interpret this guidance in the context of your audit programme.
