An Excel workbook that helps you see where your ISO 9001:2015 system falls short of ISO 9001:2026, clause by clause, and turns every gap into an owned, dated action.
What you get
- Gap analysis sheet for clauses 4 to 10 with 178 requirement lines written in plain English. Each line has a status dropdown, typical evidence, gap description, action, owner, due date and priority.
- 2026 change flags on every line: 15 New, 19 Changed, 32 Clarified and 112 Unchanged. Filter to the 66 lines that are New, Changed or Clarified to start with the differences.
- Automatic dashboard showing percent conformity by clause, open gaps by priority, overdue actions and two charts you can paste straight into a management review.
- Action plan sheet that builds itself from every gap and becomes your transition task list.
- Evidence log and instructions with scoring rules and worked examples.
ISO 9001:2026 changes covered
- Climate change in context and the interested-party decision (4.1, 4.2)
- Quality culture and ethical behavior (5.1.1, 7.1.4, 7.3)
- Separate actions for risks and for opportunities (6.1.2, 6.1.3)
- Expanded planning of changes (6.3)
- Organizational knowledge wording (7.1.6), management review inputs (9.3.2) and the merged continual improvement clause (10.1)
Who it is for
Quality managers and management representatives at companies already certified to ISO 9001:2015, and consultants who need a repeatable gap assessment tool for clients.
How to use it
- Filter to the New, Changed and Clarified lines and score each one with your process owners.
- Record evidence for lines that conform and describe the gap for lines that do not.
- Assign an owner and date to each gap, then track the dashboard to 100%.
The workbook describes requirements in our own words and does not reproduce the standard. Use it with your own licensed copy of ISO 9001:2026. The change flags compare the 2026 text with the 2015 edition.

Questions about ISO 9001:2026 Gap Analysis Workbook
Do I need the ISO 9001:2026 standard to use this workbook?
Yes. The workbook summarizes each requirement in plain English and points you to the clause, but it does not reproduce the text of the standard. You need your own licensed copy to make final conformity decisions.
How long does an ISO 9001:2026 gap analysis take?
It depends on the size of your system and how many process owners you involve. 66 of the 178 lines are flagged New, Changed or Clarified, so you can start with those and then work through the rest.
What do the change flags mean?
They compare the 2026 text with the 2015 edition. New means a requirement or item that was not there before, Changed means the substance differs, Clarified means the wording differs with the substance unchanged, and Unchanged means no difference in substance. The workbook has 15 New, 19 Changed, 32 Clarified and 112 Unchanged lines.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. The dropdowns, formulas and dashboard work in Google Sheets and in Excel 2016 or later. The chart formatting looks best in Excel.
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.
