[ Introduction ISO 30401:2018 ]

ISO 30401:2018 aims to help organizations develop management systems that effectively promote and enable value creation through knowledge.

In the field of knowledge management, there is no recognized definition yet, and there is no international standard ahead of this management standard.

Knowledge management is easy to confuse with other areas, such as information management, and some misunderstand that simply purchasing and adding other systems to the organization is enough to add value to knowledge management.

ISO 30401:2018 enables us to establish sound knowledge management principles and requirements to prevent this misunderstanding and to ensure that knowledge management is still unfamiliar.

It is an optimized guide for organizations seeking to demonstrate their capabilities in optimizing the value of organizational knowledge, and is used as a criterion for internal and external accredited audit agencies to audit, certify, evaluate and recognize these competent organizations.
