ISO 42001 certification in Enschede at a glance
Robots that decide, devices that learn and software that scores: Kennispark's Smart IT, MedTech and robotics areas put machine learning into products that customers must trust. Procurement teams have started to ask who governs it. ISO 42001 answers with a management system for AI: an inventory of AI systems, risk and impact assessment, defined roles and policy, controls over data and model lifecycle, supplier oversight, monitoring, internal audit and management review. An accredited certification body issues the certificate; it concerns governance, not the quality of a single model. Sterling's Enschede office scopes the system around what your team really builds or deploys, builds the inventory with your engineers, and keeps the records in Effivity.

ISO 42001 in Enschede: questions clients ask
Which Enschede teams should look at ISO 42001 first?
Teams that embed machine learning in products sold to others, such as robotics, medical and software companies, because customers ask who governs the AI. Teams using only a few third-party tools may need a lighter policy. Begin with an inventory of what you build and use.
Does ISO 42001 replace legal AI requirements?
No. It certifies a management system for governing AI and can support compliance work, but legal obligations depend on the law and on how each system is classified. The country page describes the framework, and your counsel can confirm what applies to your product.
