Can you get ISO 23053 certification?

Last updated: 2026-10-21

No. There is no certification scheme against ISO/IEC 23053, and no accredited certificate exists. The certifiable AI management system standard is ISO/IEC 42001.

The phrase "ISO 23053 certification" is searched, and pages that offer it are selling something the standard does not support. ISO/IEC 23053 is a framework. It contains no requirements that a certification body could audit against, and ISO has not published a conformity assessment scheme for it. An organisation that wants a certificate in this area is looking for ISO/IEC 42001, the AI management system standard, which is certifiable and is assessed by accredited certification bodies. 23053 then becomes the vocabulary used inside the 42001 system, not a certificate of its own. If a supplier shows you an ISO 23053 certificate, ask which accreditation body accredited the certifier and against which scheme.

What certificate should we get instead?

ISO/IEC 42001 for the management system. If the product itself is regulated, the applicable product or sector regime applies as well.

Is a supplier certificate to 23053 meaningful?

No. Ask for the accreditation body, the scheme and the certificate scope. A framework has no scheme to certify against.

Where this comes from

The clause record states each unit in our own words and cites the source. The amendment page separates the public draft summary from the published base edition. The base record is ISO standard 74438; the certifiable management system standard is ISO/IEC 42001:2023.

Not legal advice; does not certify. The amendment wording is not held and is not stated.
