Apply the policy
Evaluate governed actions against the authority, policies, and operating limits that apply.
Bring documented decisions, human oversight, and agent responsibility into the evidence your AI management program reviews.
ISO/IEC 42001 addresses an organization’s AI management system. Policies and responsibilities need to connect with the way AI is developed or used. Selected operational records can support that assessment, alongside the wider management-system documentation and review process.
Follow the path from a governed action to its decision and supporting history, then give reviewers a defined scope to examine.
Explore agent governanceEvaluate governed actions against the authority, policies, and operating limits that apply.
Preserve a permitted, held, denied, or abstained verdict and any human gate decision.
Bring scoped records and their catalog references into a conformance packet when available.
The descriptions below explain product evidence associated with the current catalog references. They are not quotations from the standard or a complete assessment of its requirements.
Product evidenceOrdered action receipts provide event-history records.
Review limitsCoverage is limited to activity captured in the relevant scope and time window.
Product evidenceHolds and human-decided gates provide records of oversight within governed activity.
Review limitsThe review must assess the wider processes for responsible AI use. Observed activity alone does not prove intervention.
Product evidenceAgent attribution and conformance packets provide documentation for the defined review scope.
Review limitsA packet does not replace the management system’s complete documentation and records.
Catalog 2026.09.2. A selected mapping supports evidence review; it does not establish compliance or certification.
Use operational evidence to inform your management-system work, with the standard and your assessment scope as the authority.
Organizational context, leadership, and AI policy
Risk and impact assessment, objectives, and control selection
Internal audit, management review, and continual improvement
No. Certification requires an independent assessment of the organization’s AI management system. Selected catalog mappings and evidence exports support preparation, not certification.
No. The current catalog includes three selected references. Use the licensed standard and the organization’s assessment scope to determine the full set of applicable requirements and controls.
Where Attest packet generation is available, a packet can be scoped to a registered agent and a time window. That narrower evidence scope does not redefine the scope of an AI management-system assessment.
Framework requirements and their interpretation should be checked against the authoritative source.
