Standards & Frameworks We Certify

Comprehensive coverage of all major standards and regulations relevant to companies developing, deploying, or distributing AI systems.

ISO 42001:2023
Most Popular
AI Management System (AIMS)
The world's first international standard for AI management systems. Provides a framework for responsible development, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence.
Why AI companies need this: ISO 42001 is becoming the global benchmark for AI governance. It demonstrates to customers, regulators, and investors that your AI systems are developed responsibly with proper risk controls, bias mitigation, and transparency.
EU AI Act2024/1689
Mandatory
EU Artificial Intelligence Act Compliance
The world's first comprehensive regulation on AI. Classifies AI systems by risk level and imposes requirements proportional to the risk. Enforcement began in 2025.
Why AI companies need this: If you sell or deploy AI in the EU market, compliance is not optional. High-risk AI systems must meet strict requirements for data governance, transparency, human oversight, and accuracy. Fines reach €35M or 7% of global turnover.
ISO 27001:2022
High Demand
Information Security Management
The world's leading information security standard. Essential for AI companies handling sensitive training data, customer data, and proprietary models.
Why AI companies need this: AI systems process massive amounts of data — training datasets, user inputs, model weights. ISO 27001 proves your security controls protect intellectual property and customer data. Required by enterprise clients and increasingly mandated in AI procurement.
ISO 27701:2019
Privacy Information Management
GDPR compliance framework extending ISO 27001. Essential for AI companies processing personal data in training sets, user interactions, and outputs.
Why AI companies need this: AI models trained on personal data face scrutiny under GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws. ISO 27701 proves your AI pipeline handles personal data responsibly — from training data collection to model inference and output.
ISO 9001:2015
Quality Management System
The world's most recognized quality standard. Demonstrates systematic approach to AI product development, testing, and continuous improvement.
Why AI companies need this: Enterprise buyers and government agencies require ISO 9001 from suppliers. Covers your entire AI development lifecycle: data pipelines, model training, testing, deployment, and monitoring. Complements ISO 42001.
ISO 23894:2023
New
AI Risk Management
Guidance on managing risks specifically arising from AI systems. Covers the entire AI lifecycle from design to decommissioning.
Why AI companies need this: AI introduces unique risks — bias, hallucination, adversarial attacks, model drift. ISO 23894 provides a structured framework to identify, assess, and mitigate AI-specific risks. Pairs perfectly with ISO 42001.
ISO 22989:2022
AI Concepts & Terminology
Establishes terminology and concepts for AI. Foundation standard that supports consistent communication about AI systems across organizations.
Why AI companies need this: Consistent AI terminology across your organization reduces miscommunication between engineering, compliance, and business teams. Foundation for implementing ISO 42001 and documenting EU AI Act compliance.
NIST AI RMF1.0
US Market
AI Risk Management Framework
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk Management Framework. The de facto standard for AI governance in the US market.
Why AI companies need this: If you serve US federal agencies or enterprise clients, NIST AI RMF alignment is increasingly expected. Covers governance, risk mapping, measurement, and management of AI systems. Complementary to ISO 42001 for global coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI certification and compliance.

What is ISO 42001 and why does my AI company need it?
ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS). It provides a framework for responsible AI development covering governance, risk management, data quality, transparency, and accountability. It's becoming the global benchmark — enterprise clients, investors, and regulators increasingly expect or require it.
How does EU AI Act compliance work?
The EU AI Act classifies AI systems into risk categories: unacceptable, high-risk, limited risk, and minimal risk. High-risk systems must meet strict requirements for data governance, documentation, transparency, human oversight, accuracy, and cybersecurity. We assess your AI system's risk classification, identify gaps, and guide you through full compliance — before enforcement deadlines hit.
How long does AI certification take?
The typical timeline is 2–4 weeks from application to certificate, depending on your readiness and documentation completeness. Our AI-specific documentation package significantly speeds up the process. Priority scheduling can reduce timelines to as short as 10 business days.
Can I combine ISO 42001 with ISO 27001 or other standards?
Absolutely. We recommend an Integrated Management System (IMS) approach. ISO 42001 + ISO 27001 is the most popular combination for AI companies. You can also add ISO 27701 (privacy), ISO 9001 (quality), or EU AI Act compliance. Combined audits are more cost-effective and reduce duplication.
Is the certificate internationally recognized?
Yes. Certificates issued through AICerty are backed by BALTUM Certification Body, which operates under internationally recognized accreditation standards. Your certification is valid for clients and regulatory requirements across the EU, US, UK, and globally.
What types of AI companies do you certify?
We certify all types of AI companies: SaaS platforms using ML/AI, computer vision companies, NLP/LLM providers, AI-powered healthcare solutions, autonomous systems, recommendation engines, AI consultancies, and any organization developing or deploying AI systems. From startups to enterprise — if you build or use AI, we can help.
