ISO 42001 Certification
USA — NIST AI RMF Aligned

Is the UAF Accreditation recognised in the United States?

Yes. UAF is a signatory of IAF (GAC) — Global Accreditation Cooperation. IAF (GAC) recognition means UAF Accredited certificates are recognised internationally, including in the United States. This is the same mutual recognition arrangement that allows US-based ANAB-accredited certificates to be accepted internationally.

How does ISO 42001 align with NIST AI RMF?

ISO 42001 directly operationalises all four NIST AI RMF functions — Govern, Map, Measure, Manage — through specific clauses and Annex A controls. NIST AI RMF crosswalks acknowledge ISO/IEC 42001 alignment. Certification provides concrete evidence of NIST RMF practice.

Does ISO 42001 help with NYC Local Law 144 bias audits?

ISO 42001 supports the underlying management system that produces bias audits. Annex A.5 (impact assessment) and A.6.2.4 (verification and validation) require systematic bias and fairness testing. NYC LL144 still requires a specific annual bias audit by an independent auditor and published results — ISO 42001 supports the process around that audit.

Does ISO 42001 satisfy the Colorado AI Act (SB-205)?

ISO 42001 directly supports the core obligations of the Colorado AI Act — risk management, impact assessment, transparency, and disclosure for high-risk AI. Certification provides demonstrable evidence of compliance, particularly the Risk Management Programme that the Colorado Act requires.

Do US federal contractors benefit from ISO 42001?

Yes. Federal procurement increasingly includes AI governance requirements in solicitations and contract clauses. ISO 42001 provides a single, internationally recognised attestation that supports responses to RFP / RFI / SBIR / OTA opportunities and agency due-diligence reviews.

Is ISO 42001 useful for SEC AI disclosure?

Yes. SEC scrutiny of 'AI washing' in 10-K filings and investment adviser disclosures favours organisations that can substantiate AI claims. ISO 42001 certification provides independent verification of AI governance that supports accurate, defensible disclosure.

Does ISO 42001 work for AI in healthcare under FDA?

ISO 42001 supports the management system around FDA AI/ML-enabled medical devices, including pre-determined change control plans (PCCP) and post-market monitoring. It complements (does not replace) FDA-specific submissions and quality system regulation.

Are TNV Global auditors based in the US?

Yes. We operate a network of contracted Lead Auditors based in San Jose, San Francisco, Washington DC, New York, and other US business centres. These auditors conduct on-site audits across all 50 states, with remote and hybrid options per IAF MD 4.

Does TNV Global have a US office?

No, TNV Global Limited's registered office is in the United Kingdom. We serve US customers through our US-based Lead Auditor network and remote audit capability. UAF Accreditation provides international recognition that ensures our US-issued certificates are accepted in 100+ countries.

What is the cost of ISO 42001 Certification for US organisations?

Indicative pricing: USD 1,500–2,500 for small organisations; USD 2,500–4,000 for medium; USD 5,000–30,000 for large. Pricing depends on scope, sites, audit days per IAF MD 5, and audit mode. US customers can pay by ACH via Wise Business or by card via Stripe.

How long does ISO 42001 Certification take for US customers?

From 7 working days (Fast Track for ready small organisations) up to 30 working days (large multi-site enterprises). US customers with existing ISO 27001, SOC 2, or HITRUST often certify faster due to shared management system structure.

Can ISO 42001 be combined with SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Yes. SOC 2 and ISO 42001 serve different audiences but share underlying control infrastructure. ISO 27001 + ISO 42001 integrated audits typically reduce total audit effort by 20–40 percent.

Will the certificate help with EU AI Act compliance for US companies?

Yes. ISO 42001 substantially aligns with EU AI Act obligations on risk management, transparency, human oversight, accuracy, robustness, data governance, and post-market monitoring. US companies serving the EU market benefit from this dual alignment under one certificate.

How does ISO 42001 interact with state AI laws across multiple US jurisdictions?

ISO 42001 provides one underlying management system that addresses substantial common obligations across Colorado, NYC, California, Illinois, and emerging state AI laws. Specific state-mandated artefacts (e.g., NYC LL144 published bias audit) must still be performed separately, but the management system that produces them is unified.
