ISO 9001:2026 splits the old combined clause into actions to address risks (6.1.2) and actions to address opportunities (6.1.3). This Excel register gives each its own sheet, scoring method and effectiveness review, so your records match the new structure.
What you get
- Risk register with likelihood and consequence scoring on a 5 by 5 matrix, inherent and residual ratings, treatment actions, owners, dates and effectiveness review.
- Opportunity register scored on benefit and feasibility, with pursuit decisions, actions and results.
- Automatic heat maps for both registers and a one-page summary for management review.
- 40 example entries for manufacturing and service businesses, including supply disruption and continuity risks.
- Word procedure for determining, analysing, evaluating and acting on risks and opportunities and integrating actions into QMS processes.
Who it is for
Companies whose current register mixes risks and opportunities in one list, or treats opportunities as an afterthought. That is most registers built for the 2015 edition.
How to use it
- Copy your existing entries into the two sheets.
- Rescore using the matrices and record treatment or pursuit actions.
- Review effectiveness at each management review using the summary sheet.

Questions about Risk & Opportunity Register (ISO 9001:2026 Clauses 6.1.2 & 6.1.3)
Does ISO 9001:2026 require a risk register?
The standard does not name a specific document, but it requires you to determine, analyse and evaluate risks and opportunities, plan actions, build them into your processes and evaluate whether the actions worked. A register is the simplest way to show all of that.
Why are risks and opportunities separated in the 2026 edition?
In practice most companies managed risks and ignored opportunities. Separate sub-clauses make it clear that opportunities need their own determination, evaluation and action.
Can I keep my existing risk matrix?
Yes. The scoring scales are editable, and the heat maps update to match.
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?
Digital files cannot be returned, so refunds are limited to non-delivery, defective files, wrong items and duplicate purchases. The full contents are listed above so you can check the fit before buying. See the refund policy.
Can I use the templates with more than one company?
Each purchase is licensed to one organization. Consultants and groups need one licence per client or legal entity. See the licence agreement.
