8.5.5 Post-delivery activities

|

This requirement is unchanged in ISO 9001:2026. Your organization must meet the post-delivery requirements that apply to its products and services. When deciding how far those post-delivery activities need to go, your organization must consider:

  1. Statutory and regulatory requirements;
  2. The potential undesired consequences associated with its products and services;
  3. The nature, use and intended lifetime of its products and services;
  4. Customer requirements;
  5. Customer feedback.

Examples of post-delivery activities include warranty work, contracted obligations such as maintenance or servicing, and additional services such as recycling or end-of-life disposal.
