ISO AI management certification

Intetics said on April 14 that it has earned ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, a new audit-based standard for how companies govern artificial intelligence systems. (intetics.com) The standard itself is new: the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission published ISO/IEC 42001 in December 2023 as a management-system rulebook for organizations that build or use artificial intelligence. (iso.org) (webstore.iec.ch) In plain terms, a management system is the companywide playbook behind the software — policies, risk checks, accountability, and review cycles — rather than a test of whether one model is accurate or useful. (iso.org) (anab.ansi.org) Intetics said its certification followed a four-month governance and audit process and covers the way it develops and delivers artificial intelligence services for clients. The company described the result as formal proof of controls for risk management, transparency, and oversight. (send2press.com) (intetics.com) The timing lines up with a broader compliance push. The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act began phased application on February 2, 2025, with another major deadline on August 2, 2026, when most of the law’s rules start to apply. (ai-act-service-desk.ec.europa.eu) Certification under ISO/IEC 42001 is not the law, but certification firms and standards bodies market it as a way to show documented governance around safety, fairness, transparency, and data quality as regulation tightens. (sgs.com) (bsigroup.com) Intetics also is not alone in pursuing the badge. BSI says it is accredited to certify companies against ISO/IEC 42001, and other certification bodies including DQS, DNV, SGS, and TÜV SÜD now advertise the same service. (bsigroup.com) (dqsglobal.com) (dnv.us) (sgs.com) (tuvsud.com) That makes claims about being “among the first” hard to verify precisely, because companies are being certified by different bodies in different markets and there is no single public global registry in the standard itself. The standard sets requirements for organizations, while separate accreditation and certification systems determine who can audit and certify them. (iso.org) (anab.ansi.org) What Intetics can clearly say is narrower and concrete: it has joined an early wave of companies using a formal international standard to show how they manage artificial intelligence inside the business, not just what their tools can do.
