ISO 45010 in Norway — STÖ Group in SN/K 551

    ISO 45010:2026 was published on 7 September 2026 as the international standard giving guidance on menstrual and menopausal health in occupational health and safety management systems. STÖ Group AS contributed through Standard Norge expert committee SN/K 551 — the Norwegian mirror committee for ISO/TC 283.

    What ISO 45010 is

    ISO 45010 was developed in ISO/TC 283, Working Group 10 (WG 10), and connects menstrual and menopausal health to OHS management systems (the ISO 45001 family).

    It gives Norwegian and European employers a recognised framework for documenting readiness without collecting individual health data. ISO 45010 is a guidance standard and is not certifiable.

    STÖ Group in the Norwegian mirror committee

    Standard Norge expert committee SN/K 551 is the Norwegian mirror committee for ISO/TC 283. STÖ Group AS holds a seat and contributes experience from regulated product development, distribution and privacy-by-design technology.

    The group also participates as a Norwegian expert in WG 6, working on the revision of ISO 45001. The position gives early insight into the standards shaping requirements for Norwegian and European employers.

    What ISO 45010 means for OHS practice

    Now that ISO 45010 is published, organisations can tie ESRS S1 reporting and internal control documentation to an internationally recognised reference standard.

    For OHS leads it means biological variation can be handled within existing management systems rather than as a parallel workstream. Sydera provides a guide and governance document analysis to support that work.
