What is an integrated management system?

An integrated management system (IMS) combines two or more management system standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, into a single system. Shared requirements such as risk management, internal audit and management review are addressed once, with one set of policies, procedures and records.

Integrated management system questions

Which standards can be integrated?

Most ISO management system standards share the same high-level structure and can be integrated in any combination. These include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 50001, ISO 22301, ISO 37001 and more. Singapore Standards such as SS 651 can often be included as well.

Is one certificate issued, or several?

Certification bodies normally issue a separate certificate for each standard, following a combined audit.

What are the benefits of integration?

An integrated system removes duplicated procedures, audits and reviews, which reduces the effort required to maintain it and gives staff one consistent way of working.

Can more standards be added later?

Yes. An integrated system is designed so that further standards can be added within the same structure.
