Try our ISO 9001:2026 gap analysis method on your own system before you buy anything. This free Excel sample has the same layout and scoring as the full Gap Analysis Workbook, with 20 requirement lines instead of 178.

What is in the free sample

  • 20 plain-English requirement lines, starting with context, interested parties and the headline 2026 changes.
  • 2026 change flags on every line (New, Changed, Clarified or Unchanged), so you can filter to what is new.
  • Status dropdowns plus evidence, owner and notes columns.
  • Automatic dashboard with overall conformity and conformity by clause section.
  • Instructions sheet that explains the scoring.

What the full workbook adds

158 more lines, covering every clause from 4 to 10 (178 in total), typical evidence and gap description for each line, priority and due dates, an action plan that builds itself from every gap, an evidence log and worked examples. Get the full 178-line ISO 9001:2026 gap analysis workbook on its own, or in the Transition Starter Bundle with the change matrix and transition plan.

Good to know

  • Free, instant download. Works in Excel 2016 or later and Google Sheets.
  • The sample describes requirements in our own words and does not reproduce the text of ISO 9001. You need your own licensed copy of the standard to make conformity decisions.

Questions about Free ISO 9001:2026 Gap Analysis Workbook Sample

Is the ISO 9001:2026 gap analysis sample really free?

Yes. It costs nothing, no card is needed, and you get the Excel file straight away.

How is the sample different from the full Gap Analysis Workbook?

The sample has 20 requirement lines and a simple dashboard. The full workbook has 178 lines covering every clause from 4 to 10, typical evidence, priorities, an automatic action plan, an evidence log and worked examples.

Can I use the sample for a real gap analysis?

You can use it to test the method and to score the headline 2026 changes. It does not cover every requirement, so it is not enough on its own to show your system meets the full 2026 edition.

How will I receive the files?

A download button appears on the order confirmation page and the same link is emailed to you within a few minutes. Bundles arrive as one ZIP file.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. With our 30-day money-back guarantee, if the files do not fit your quality management system you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of your order. It applies once per customer and organization, covers the whole product, and requires you to confirm you have deleted the files. We also refund non-delivery, defective files, wrong items and duplicate purchases within 30 days. Read the full refund policy.

Can I see the files before I buy?

Yes. The images above show real pages from the files, and most kits have free sample pages you can download with your email address. You can also see a fully worked example of a procedure and its linked records.

Will I get updates?

Yes, for the edition of the standard this product covers. Corrections, amendments and guidance changes for that edition are sent to you free, by email, for as long as we sell the product. If the standard is replaced by a new edition, the new kit is a separate product and existing buyers get an upgrade discount. See the version history.

Can I use the templates with more than one company?

Each purchase is licensed to one organization (one legal entity). Consultants can use one product with up to 10 client organizations with the Consultant Multi-Client Licence, including applying their own or the client's branding. See consultant rights and the licence agreement.
