The main difference between these two standards is that, when published, ISO 37301 will establish requirements for the implementation of a compliance management system, as opposed to USO 19600 which only provides recommendations.
The handbook to accompany AS 3806 was developed by a working group of the Australasian Compliance Institute members.
The draft stage of ISO 19600 was completed in April 2014;[1] the final version was published on 5 December 2014.
[2] Many existing compliance standards focus on one specific regulatory requirement or topic area; ISO 19600 aims to unify these, so organizations can work within a single framework rather than several different ones focussing on different standards.
[4] Like other related ISO standards, it emphasises the use of a Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle.
