ISO 19001:2018

There is also now a need, I imagine, to revise your book to accommodate the publication by ISO of ISO 45001:2018 in March this year, and perhaps other standards mentioned in the content of bibliography?

Answer: ISO 19011:2018 has just been released and we are already working on our books update.

The main difference regarding ISO 19011:2018 is the addition of of the risk-based approach to the principles of auditing, to reflect the enhanced focus on risk in both management standards and in the marketplace. But is important to note that the risk-based approach is not mandatory for interna l audits.

Other modifications refer to minor expansions on guidance related to managing an audit program, conducting an audit, competence requirements for auditors, and auditing concepts.

Regarding 45001 - it does not have any different requirements from other ISO standards like ISO 9001 or ISO 27001.
