Can you be certified to ISO/IEC DTS 25568?
No. ISO/IEC DTS 25568 is a draft Technical Specification, which is guidance, and no certification scheme exists for it. An organisation is certified to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the AI management system standard. The draft is read as guidance under the risk work that 42001 already requires, and a certificate to the draft cannot be issued.
Detail
What the draft is
No. ISO/IEC DTS 25568 is a draft Technical Specification, which is guidance, and no certification scheme exists for it. An organisation is certified to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the AI management system standard. The draft is read as guidance under the risk work that 42001 already requires, and a certificate to the draft cannot be issued.
Why certification does not apply
The record separates what ISO has published from what it has not. The status, the stage history, the committee and the scope are public. The clause text is not. Every page on this site marks the difference, and the pages are written from the two published standards named in the record. None of them is a requirement of the draft.
What to be certified to instead
Is ISO 25568 a management system standard?
No. It is a Technical Specification that gives guidance on addressing risks in generative AI systems. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the management system standard in this family.
Can a certification body issue a certificate to it?
No. There is no scheme, no accredited scope and no conformity assessment route for a Technical Specification of this kind.
What should an organisation be certified to?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023, if it wants an AI management system certificate. The draft then informs the risk assessment and treatment evidence behind that certificate.
