📋 Tender Overview
Its implementation will promote the quality of AI systems, mitigate risks and strengthen confidence in the use of emerging technologies in the country.
In a context of accelerated digital transformation and growing adoption of solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI), the National Quality Institute (INACAL), an agency assigned to the Ministry of Production, approved the Peruvian Technical Standard NTP-ISO/IEC 42001: 2025, the first in its kind focused on establishing a specific management system for ia.
This standard constitutes a key tool for strategic management, risk mitigation and strengthening public trust in the responsible use of emerging technologies. Its implementation will contribute to guarantee the quality, safety and transparency in the development and use of AI systems in the country.
Based on the international standard ISO/IEC 42001, this NTP establishes clear requirements and guidelines to plan, implement, maintain and improve an artificial intelligence management system in any organization, regardless of its size or economic sector. Its objective is to offer a technical framework that accompanies digital transformation towards sustainable technological development, aligned with global standards.
The norm is applicable to public and private organizations that develop, use or provide AI systems, in various sectors such as health, transport, defense, finance, energy, human resources, among others. It is especially relevant to entities subject to regulations, social expectations or ethical commitments with their interest groups.
According to the World Economic Forum, it is estimated that AI will generate an economic impact of around 15.7 billion dollars in the world around 2030. In Latin America, more than 75 % of large organizations already integrate this technology in their operations. This expansion opens new opportunities, but also raises challenges such as automated decision making without clear explanations, as well as not expected ethical and social impacts, especially in sensitive areas such as health, justice, education, security and finance.
What guidelines establishes the NTP-ISO/IEC 42001: 2025?
It provides a comprehensive management structure based on risk approaches to the responsible use of AI systems. Among its main components include:
* IA risk management: Establish procedures to identify, evaluate, mitigate and document risks associated with its use, with focus on safety, equity, transparency and data protection.
* Impact assessment: Promotes the analysis of the predictable effects and not foreseen that AI systems can generate on individuals or groups, depending on the technical and regulatory context.
* Measuring objectives: It requires organizations to define clear goals aligned with their AI policy, incorporating monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
* Governance and leadership: assigns to senior management the responsibility of establishing an institutional policy of AI, with ethical and strategic commitments.
* Integration with other management systems: allows its articulation with already implemented standards, such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 27001 (Information Security) or ISO 31000 (Risk Management), facilitating scalable governance without duplication of efforts.
The new NTP is available for consultation in the Virtual Reading Room of INACAL https://sallecturavirtual.inacal.gob.pe:8098/.
