FAQ
ISO 31000 Certification — Common Questions
Answers to the most common questions about ISO 31000:2018 risk management certification in Australia.
What is ISO 31000:2018 certification?
ISO 31000:2018 is the international standard for Risk Management. It provides principles, framework, and a process for managing risk effectively. While ISO 31000 is a guidance standard, many organisations seek third-party certification against its principles to demonstrate risk management maturity to stakeholders, regulators, and partners.
Is ISO 31000 certifiable?
ISO 31000:2018 is technically a guidance standard rather than a requirements standard like ISO 9001. However, UCS offers conformity assessment and certification services against ISO 31000 principles for Australian organisations that want to formally demonstrate their risk management system against international best practice.
