International AI Management System (AIMS) ISO/IEC 42001

DEKRA achieves accreditation to certify organizations for responsible and trustworthy AI

Nov 04, 2025

DEKRA today announced it has been accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to provide certification to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the world’s first international Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) standard. With ANAB accreditation, DEKRA Certification, Inc. is authorized to assess and certify organizations’ AI governance programs – helping customers demonstrate safe, secure, and trustworthy AI from design through deployment.

“AI is transforming every industry – but to scale it responsibly, organizations need proven governance,” said Cem Onus, Vice President, DEKRA North America. “ISO/IEC 42001 certification from DEKRA provides independent proof that an AI program meets rigorous, internationally recognized requirements for safety, security, transparency, and continual improvement. This is how leaders earn stakeholder trust while accelerating innovation.”

What ISO/IEC 42001 covers

ISO/IEC 42001 specifies requirements to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an AI management system. It addresses governance and accountability, risk assessment and treatment, data quality and traceability, human oversight, security and resiliency, monitoring, incident response, and lifecycle controls for AI systems.
Certification shows regulatory readiness, market confidence, and accountability to customers, partners, regulators, and end users. DEKRA Audits can be integrated into existing management systems, based on ISO 27001/27701/9001/14001 and related frameworks to minimize the audit effort. Another advantage is end-to-end lifecycle assurance: the audits evaluate controls from idea generation and data collection to provision, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

DEKRA’s ISO/IEC 42001 services

  • Readiness and gap assessments mapped to 42001 requirements
  • Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits by qualified auditors with AI, cybersecurity, privacy, and safety expertise

“For a century, DEKRA has helped organizations innovate with confidence,” added Onus. “ANAB accreditation for ISO/IEC 42001 extends our commitment to safety, security, and sustainability into the AI era – turning responsible AI principles into auditable, repeatable practice.”
Organizations developing, integrating, or operating AI systems can engage DEKRA for ISO/IEC 42001 certification or a readiness assessment today.
