ISO/IEC 42001 defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AI management system, applicable to organizations that develop, provide, or use AI solutions. The standard aims to support companies in responsibly addressing AI-specific risks, while ensuring alignment with the expectations of customers, partners, and regulators in a global context where the use of AI is becoming increasingly widespread.
“For AROBS, ISO/IEC 42001 certification is a strategic decision, going beyond a compliance and governance exercise. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming core to the products and operations of global companies, and the real differentiator will be the ability to govern it responsibly, in a scalable and predictable manner. By implementing this standard, we are building a clear AI governance framework – from risk management and accountability to performance monitoring and continuous improvement. It is a natural step in a market where trust, transparency, and control are becoming competitive advantages,” stated Voicu Oprean, founder and CEO of AROBS.
The ISO/IEC 42001 – AI Management System certification was awarded by Bureau Veritas Romania following an audit process that assessed AROBS’ AI governance framework, the associated internal policies and processes, as well as the way risks and responsibilities are managed throughout the entire AI systems lifecycle.
“The ISO/IEC 42001 certification obtained by AROBS confirms the maturity and responsibility with which the organization approaches the development and use of artificial intelligence. The audit highlighted a solid AI governance framework, with clearly defined processes for managing risks, responsibilities, and compliance across the entire lifecycle of artificial intelligence systems,” stated Claudia Stancu, Certification and Training Manager Romania, Bureau Veritas.
The ISO/IEC 42001 certification complements AROBS’ extensive portfolio of certifications, which support the company’s integrated approach to quality, information security, occupational health and safety, and environmental protection. AROBS holds ISO 9001 certification for quality management, ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, TISAX for information security in the automotive industry, as well as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 for environmental management and occupational health and safety, alongside other certifications specific to the activities and markets in which the Group operates.
