Each answer is written first for the reader who has one question and ninety seconds. The clause pages carry the detail. Every answer is in the page HTML, not behind a script or a form.
| Question | The answer in one paragraph |
|---|---|
| Does ISO 22316 apply to your organization? | Yes, in the sense that it is written for any organization of any size or type, in any sector, at any point in its life. It is guidance rather than a certifiable requirements standard. It applies most usefully when the organization wants to improve its ability to absorb and adapt, or when a contract or policy makes a resilience claim. |
| What is ISO/FDIS 22316? | It is the second edition of the organizational resilience guidance from ISO/TC 292. It is a Final Draft International Standard at stage 50.00, registered for formal approval on 6 July 2026. The title changes to Guidelines. It will replace ISO 22316:2017. It is not published and cannot be certified against. |
| When will the ISO 22316 second edition be published? | No publication date is recorded. ISO records stage 50.00 on 6 July 2026: the FDIS is registered for formal approval. The ballot, approval and publication stages follow, but their dates are not on the public record. The 15 February 2027 date used here is a planning estimate, not an ISO commitment. |
| What changed from ISO 22316:2017? | The public record shows a second edition with the title Guidelines, developed by ISO/TC 292 and registered for formal approval on 6 July 2026. No clause-level change is public. The FDIS text is not available, so this site does not claim an unseen change. When the text or the published edition is available, the record is refreshed and the diff is sent. |
| What is organizational resilience under ISO 22316? | It is the ability of an organization to absorb and adapt in a changing environment, so that it can deliver its objectives and survive and prosper. It is a capability shaped by principles, attributes and activities, not a fixed state and not a certificate. |
| What evidence does a resilience review ask for? | The evidence follows the nine attributes: a purpose used in decisions, a context register with owners, defined roles and authority, observed culture behaviours, tested critical knowledge, a core service resource map, discipline handoffs, an improvement loop and an evaluation profile. Each clause page lists the specific artefacts. |
| How does ISO 22316 relate to ISO 22301? | ISO 22301 is a certifiable management system standard for business continuity. ISO 22316 is guidance on organizational resilience, which is broader than continuity. They overlap at business impact analysis, recovery planning and exercise, but neither replaces the other. A 22301 system can supply much of the continuity evidence that a resilience assessment asks for. |
| How should the organization transition to the new ISO 22316 edition? | Find every citation of ISO 22316 in contracts, policies and tenders. Keep the 2017 edition as the applicable standard until the second edition is published. Build the attribute evidence now, because it survives the change. Write a transition note with an owner and a review date, and watch the ISO record. |
