How to read these figures
The 2024 cut-off is compiled from IAF CertSearch and was published in 2025. Until 2023, participation by reporting bodies varied; the coverage change limits comparisons and does not demonstrate causal market growth.
For 2023, the detailed XLSX is used: ISO/IEC 27001, 47,291 certificates and 79,213 sites, versus 48,671 and 81,264 in the PDF; ISO 37001, 7,895 certificates versus 7,894. Sources are not mixed.
Differences between Overview and regional sums are retained: ISO 9001, 1,474,118 versus 1,474,113; ISO 45001, 542,527 versus 542,526; ISO 13485, 31,215 versus 31,214. Regional subtotals do not replace the official world total.
- Certificates and sites
- Certificates: valid documents reported. Sites: locations covered by those certificates. A multi-site certificate covers several sites, so the two columns cannot be compared with each other.
- Companies
- The ISO Survey does not publish unique companies: an organization may hold more than one certificate and more than one site. No figure on this page should be read as a number of companies.
- Three views
- World, regions and countries are three views of the same dataset. Adding them together double-counts: each breakdown is read separately.
- Variations
- Year-to-year jumps may reflect changes in the survey methodology and variations in the bodies that respond. A year-on-year change is not read as market growth without that context.
- No data
- Missing data is published as “no data”. It is not filled in with zero or with estimates.
Data year: 2024 (cut-off 31 Dec 2024). Review of this page: 17 Oct 2026. The two dates are different and are published separately.
