ISO has released ISO 19011:2018 – Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems, the latest version of the standard designed to provide minimum requirements for first-, second- and third-party audits.

The new standard can be purchased directly from ISO (here) for $159. The ANSI website charges $26 more for the standard and only offers it in PDF format, whereas the ISO offer includes both PDF and EPUB formats, the latter of which may be used on a Kindle or e-book reader. As a result, Oxebridge recommends buying it from ISO until ANSI aligns its pricing.

Oxebridge will publish a review of the new standard shortly.

Why we report on these topics

Since 2000, Oxebridge has worked to improve ISO and related certification schemes by identifying problems and then proposing solutions. We report on issues affecting standards users because so few other news outlets do. Our belief is that in order to fix the problems in these schemes, we must first understand the nature and breadth of those problems. Our reporting aims to do just that. Elsewhere on the Oxebridge site you will find White Papers and other articles proposing ideas to correct these problems.
