ISO Management System Standards

‍

• The familiar ISO management system standards are to be used in the High-Level Structure (HLS), which is a set of ten clauses that gives all standards the same look and feel. The HLS also effects a better integration between systems of different disciplines. The HLS uses a core text which is standard in every management system, plus a contextualized text that will be added depending on what the management system is about, whether it be Quality, OHS, Environment or another discipline.

A common set of standards to define an Operational Integrity Management System (OIMS) is:

• ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management
• ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management
• ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management
• ISO 55001:2024 Asset Management
• ISO 22301:2019 Business Continuity Management
• ISO 27001:2017 Information Security Management

The ten clauses of the HLS which all of these standards have in common are:

1.     Scope
2.    Normative References
3.    Terms and Definitions
4.    Context of the Organization
5.    Leadership
6.    Planning
7.     Support
8.    Operation
9.    Performance Evaluation
10.   Improvement
