ISO 42001

Overview

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). Published in 2023, it provides a framework for organizations that develop, provide, or use AI systems to do so responsibly. The standard addresses AI-specific risks including bias, transparency, accountability, and societal impact. CodeMiners' ISO 42001 certification demonstrates that our AI development practices operate under a formal management system with governance controls specific to artificial intelligence.

Governing Body

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

Scope of Certification

Covers the responsible development, deployment, and use of AI systems. Includes AI risk assessment, data governance for AI, model transparency and explainability, bias detection and mitigation, human oversight mechanisms, and AI system monitoring.
