Requirements & evidence

ISO/IEC 42005

International guidance for repeatable AI-system impact assessments across the system lifecycle. It complements ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, and applicable AI laws; it is not an AI certification by itself.

Understand the scope

What the framework covers.

The library records this framework for AI, technology, all sectors, across global. The issuing authority determines applicability; your assessment scope should identify the organization, systems, services, and edition being assessed.

Areas of requirement

  • Impact-assessment planning
  • Impact identification
  • Analysis and evaluation
  • Documentation and review

The library tracks the authority and edition. A normalized requirement catalog is not available for this framework, so a requirement count is not stated here.

Source access and licensing

Licensed standard — purchase from ISO or a national member body and obtain software-use rights before verbatim ingestion.

Prepare with context

The evidence behind
the requirements.

Evidence needs to demonstrate how a requirement is met within the assessment scope. Keep the source requirement, collection context, responsible owner, review decision, and period of applicability together.

A framework-specific collection workflow has not been activated. The reference material on this page can inform scoping and preparation; it does not establish evidence collection or assessment readiness.

ControlFrame availability

Framework reference available

Authority and version facts, with a parsed public catalog when available; no tenant blueprint or executable evidence method is activated.

How availability is determined

ISO/IEC 42005 is tracked in the registry — authority, version ledger, verification — and nothing else is modelled for it yet. Import its catalog to begin.

Catalog status: Planned. Tracked metadata: we record the regime and its issuing authority for review. Registry presence does not mean automated monitoring is active. No control or requirement model is implemented.

Metadata only; licensed AI impact-assessment guidance is not ingested, normalized, or released as a product module.

Common questions

A closer look.

What is ISO/IEC 42005?

International guidance for repeatable AI-system impact assessments across the system lifecycle. It complements ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, and applicable AI laws; it is not an AI certification by itself.

Who does ISO/IEC 42005 apply to?

ISO/IEC 42005 applies to AI, technology, all sectors, global, per ISO/IEC 42005:2025.

What is the current version of ISO/IEC 42005?

The current edition is 2025, issued by ISO/IEC 42005:2025 and published 2025-05-28. Source: https://www.iso.org/standard/42005.

What does an assessment under ISO/IEC 42005 require?

No control catalog has been ingested for ISO/IEC 42005 yet — the registry tracks it as planned (Tracked metadata: we record the regime and its issuing authority for review. Registry presence does not mean automated monitoring is active. No control or requirement model is implemented), so an assessment under this framework currently requires the authority's own catalog rather than a ControlFrame-parsed one.
