Certification of ISO 7101:2023 for management systems of healthcare organisations

About the programme

UKAS is establishing a project to develop accreditation for the certification of management systems in healthcare services for ISO 1701 to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015.

ISO 7101 is an effective, organization-wide compliance management system enables an organization to demonstrate its commitment to comply with relevant laws, regulatory requirements, industry codes and organizational standards, as well as standards of good governance, generally accepted best practices, ethics and community expectations

As this standard is a new area of accreditation, UKAS will set up a development project and invite interest to participate in a pilot Assessment programme later in the spring of 2025.

 

Associated Standards

  • ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 Conformity assessment — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems — Part 1: Requirements
  • ISO 7101:2023, Healthcare organization management – Management systems for quality in healthcare organizations – Requirements.

 

Current status

An expressions of interest notice was published on 24th September 2024. A number of responses were received and an interested parties meeting is now being arranged to take place in the spring.

We are still able to accept applications for this project. The project team are available to discuss any questions or queries regarding this activity
