ISO 42001 AI Management System

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 – World's first AI Management System standard

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). In Singapore, it is increasingly mandated by enterprise procurement, aligned with IMDA's AI Verify framework, required by MAS AI Risk Management Guidelines (finalised 2026), and the foundation for CSA's Cyber Trust Mark AI security pillar. ICFC — Singapore's first dedicated ISO 42001 consultancy — delivers AIMS audit, consultation, and training with EDG grant management built in.

What is ISO 42001 AIMS? Singapore's AI governance standard

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 provides a framework for organisations to establish policies and processes for the responsible development, provision, and use of AI systems — covering governance, risk management, transparency, human oversight, and ethical AI across the entire AI lifecycle. Singapore has nationally adopted ISO 42001 as SS ISO/IEC 42001:2024. The Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) launched its ISO/IEC 42001 AIMS accreditation programme in early 2025.

Frequently asked questions — ISO 42001 AIMS

IMDA's Framework is voluntary and principles-based. ISO 42001 is a certifiable international management system standard — an accredited third-party verifies your AI governance.

ISO 42001 certifies your organisation's AI management system, not the tools. However, Annex A.9 requires you to assess third-party AI risks.

Typical fees S$15,000–S$40,000 depending on AI systems in scope. EDG covers up to 50% for eligible SMEs.

The MAS AI Risk Management Guidelines (2026) establish supervisory expectations — ISO 42001 is the most efficient framework for demonstrating compliance.
