Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
0.1 General

Electronic commerce offers the convenience of being able to research and select from a wide range of

products and services, but consumers must usually do so without the benefit of face-to-face interactions.

The related transactions can take place across international borders, sometimes without the consumer

realizing this, and the levels of consumer protection can be different from those to which the consumer

is accustomed.

This document provides guidance to organizations for planning, designing, developing, implementing,

maintaining and improving an effective and efficient system concerning business-to-consumer

electronic commerce transactions (B2C ECTs).

An effective and efficient B2C ECT system can assist consumers and organizations in addressing all

aspects of a transaction.

This document gives guidance on how organizations can implement such a B2C ECT system and thereby:

a) provide a basis for consumers to have increased confidence in B2C ECTs;
b) enhance the ability of organizations to satisfy consumers;
c) reduce complaints and disputes.

A B2C ECT involves electronic interactions between the organization and the consumer, when accessed

by the consumer through any device with wired or wireless connectivity (e.g. personal computers,

e-tablets, personal digital assistants, cell phones). For the purposes of this document, a B2C ECT can

also involve other data-based telecommunications networks (e.g. short-text messaging) and various

interfaces, including websites, social media web pages, apps and emails.

NOTE ISO 32111 provides principles and framework for electronic commerce transaction assurance.

The guidance in this document is intended to apply to situations where a substantial part of the B2C

ECT, including at least one in-transaction phase process (e.g. processing of payment, confirmation by

the consumer of the agreement, delivery of products and services) is facilitated by electronic methods.

It also can be useful where no B2C ECT takes place, but there is some online interaction between the

organization and the consumer, such as when an organization advertises online and does not sell

products or services online. Where distance selling does not include an online component (e.g. a mail

order), it is not the subject of this document, but some of the guidance provided can be relevant.

Considered broadly, business-to-consumer e-commerce involves a wide variety of organizations

engaged in many different activities. The focus of this document is on the organizations that directly

offer products and services to consumers, whether via their own platforms or via online marketplaces.

However, the guidance provided can be relevant to other organizations involved in any B2C ECT

transaction, including online marketplaces and price comparison sites. There are also separate

standards for organizations that facilitate transactions between consumers and providers, and

organizations that provide consumers access to publicly accessible processes where they can review

and rate products and services offered by their organizations, and access the reviews and ratings of

other consumers (see ISO 42500 and ISO 20488).

The guidance in this document is not intended to apply to online transactions completed between

individuals (“consumer-to-consumer”). However, the guidance in this document can be relevant to

third-party organizations that provide online services to facilitate consumer-to-consumer transactions

(e.g. online marketplaces).

ISO 10008:2022(E)
0.2 Relationship with ISO 9001 and ISO 9004

This document is compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 9004 and supports the objectives of these two

standards through the effective and efficient application of a B2C ECT system. This document can also

be used independently of ISO 9001 and ISO 9004.

ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system. A B2C ECT system implemented

in accordance with this document (i.e. ISO 10008) can be used as an element of a quality management

system.

ISO 9004 provides guidance to achieve sustained success of an organization. The use of this document

can enhance performance regarding B2C ECTs, as well as increase the satisfaction of consumers and

other relevant interested parties to facilitate the achievement of sustained success. It can also facilitate

the continual improvement of the quality of products, services and processes based on feedback from

consumers and other relevant interested parties.

NOTE Other relevant interested parties can include customers, providers, industry associations and their

members, consumer organizations, relevant government agencies, regulatory authorities, personnel, owners and

others who are affected by an organization’s B2C ECT system.
0.3 Relationship with ISO 10001, ISO 10002, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004

This document is compatible with ISO 10001, ISO 10002, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004. These five standards

can be used either independently or in conjunction with each other. When used together, the standards

can be part of a broader and integrated framework for enhanced customer satisfaction in both the B2C

and non-B2C contexts.

Organizations can use the guidance contained in ISO 10001 to plan, design, develop, implement,

maintain and improve a B2C ECT code as part of the B2C ECT system. The complaints handling, dispute

resolution and customer satisfaction monitoring and measuring processes described in ISO 10002,

ISO 10003 and ISO 10004, respectively, can form important parts of a B2C ECT system.

ISO 10008:2022(F)
Introduction
0.1 Généralités

Le commerce électronique offre la facilité de pouvoir rechercher et choisir parmi une large gamme

de produits et de services, mais les consommateurs doivent généralement le faire sans l’avantage

d’interactions directes. Les transactions correspondantes peuvent avoir lieu par-delà les frontières

internationales, parfois sans que le consommateur s’en rende compte, et les niveaux de protection des

consommateurs peuvent être différents de ceux auxquels le consommateur est habitué.

Le présent document fournit aux organismes des recommandations pour la planification, la conception,

le développement, la mise en œuvre, la tenue à jour et l’amélioration d’un système efficace et efficient

concernant les transactions de commerce électronique entre commerçant et consommateur (TCE CC).

Un système TCE CC efficace et efficient peut aider les consommateurs et les organismes à aborder tous

les aspects d’une transaction.

Le présent document fournit aux organismes des recommandations relatives à la manière de mettre

en œuvre un tel système TCE CC et ainsi:

a) contribuer à améliorer la confiance des consommateurs dans les transactions de type TCE CC;

b) améliorer la capacité des organismes à satisfaire les consommateurs;
c) réduire le nombre de réclamations et de conflits.

Une transaction de type TCE CC implique des interactions électroniques entre l’organisme et le

consommateur, initiées par le consommateur au moyen de tout dispositif disposant d’une connexion

par câble ou sans fil (par exemple ordinateurs personnels, tablettes électroniques, assistants

numériques personnels [PDA], téléphones mobiles). Pour les besoins du présent document, une

transaction de type TCE CC peut également impliquer d’autres réseaux de télécommunications de

données (par exemple service d’envoi de messages courts [SMS]) et diverses interfaces, y compris des

sites web, des pages web de médias sociaux, des applications et des messageries électroniques.

NOTE L’ISO 32111 fournit des principes et un cadre pour l’assurance des transactions de commerce

électronique.

Les recommandations du présent document sont destinées à s’appliquer à des situations dans

lesquelles une partie importante de la transaction de type TCE CC, incluant au moins un processus

associé à la phase transactionnelle (par exemple traitement du paiement, confirmation de l’accord

par le consommateur, livraison des produits et services), est facilitée par des méthodes électroniques.

Elles peuvent également être utiles lorsqu’aucune transaction de type TCE CC n’intervient, mais qu’il

existe une certaine interaction en ligne entre l’organisme et le consommateur, par exemple lorsqu’un

organisme fait une publicité en ligne, mais ne vend pas ses produits ou services en ligne. Une vente à

distance ne contenant pas d’élément en ligne (par exemple une vente par correspondance) n’est pas

concernée par le présent document, mais certaines des recommandations peuvent être pertinentes.

Considéré au sens large, le commerce électronique entre commerçant et consommateur implique une

grande variété d’organismes engagés dans de nombreuses activités différentes. Le présent document

se concentre sur les organismes qui offrent directement des produits et services aux consommateurs,

que ce soit par l’intermédiaire de leurs propres plateformes ou par l’intermédiaire de places de marché

en ligne. Cependant, les recommandations fournies peuvent être pertinentes pour d’autres organismes

impliqués dans des transactions de type TCE CC, y compris les places de marché en ligne et les sites

de comparaison de prix. Il existe également des normes distinctes pour les organismes qui facilitent

les transactions entre les consommateurs et les fournisseurs, et pour les organismes qui fournissent

aux consommateurs un accès à des processus accessibles au public où ils peuvent évaluer et noter les

produits et services offerts par ces organismes, et accéder aux avis et notations d’autres consommateurs

(voir l’ISO 42500 et l’ISO 20488).

ISO 10008:2022(F)

Les recommandations du présent document ne sont pas destinées à s’appliquer aux transactions en ligne

conclues entre des particuliers («consommateur à consommateur»). Toutefois, les recommandations

du présent document peuvent être pertinentes pour des organismes tiers offrant des services en ligne

pour faciliter les transactions de consommateur à consommateur (par exemple les places de marché

en ligne).
0.2 Relation avec l’ISO 9001 et l’ISO 9004

Le présent document est compatible avec l’ISO 9001 et l’ISO 9004 et vient à l’appui des objectifs de

ces deux normes par l’application efficace et efficiente d’un système TCE CC. Le présent document peut

également être utilisé indépendamment de l’ISO 9001 et de l’ISO 9004.

L’ISO 9001 spécifie les exigences relatives à un système de management de la qualité. Un système

TCE CC mis en œuvre conformément au présent document (c’est-à-dire l’ISO 10008) peut être utilisé

comme un élément d’un système de management de la qualité.

L’ISO 9004 fournit des recommandations pour permettre à un organisme d’obtenir des performances

durables. L’utilisation du présent document peut permettre d’améliorer les performances concernant

les transactions de type TCE CC, ainsi que d’accroître la satisfaction des consommateurs et des autres

parties intéressées pertinentes afin de faciliter l’obtention de performances durables. Elle peut

également faciliter l’amélioration continue de la qualité des produits, des services et des processus sur

la base des retours d’information des consommateurs et des autres parties intéressées pertinentes.

NOTE Les autres parties intéressées pertinentes peuvent inclure les clients, les fournisseurs, les associations

professionnelles et leurs membres, les organisations de consommateurs, les agences gouvernementales

pertinentes, les autorités de régulation, le personnel, les propriétaires et les autres personnes concernées par le

système TCE CC d’un organisme.
0.3 Relation avec l’ISO 10001, l’ISO 10002, l’ISO 10003 et l’ISO 10004

Le présent document est compatible avec l’ISO 10001, l’ISO 10002, l’ISO 10003 et l’ISO 10004. Ces

cinq normes peuvent être utilisées indépendamment ou conjointement. Lorsqu’elles sont utilisées

conjointement, les normes peuvent faire partie d’un cadre intégré plus étendu visant à accroître

la satisfaction du client dans des contextes commerçant-consommateur et non commerçant-

consommateur.

Les organismes peuvent utiliser les lignes directrices contenues dans l’ISO 10001 pour planifier,

concevoir, développer, mettre en œuvre, tenir à jour et améliorer un code TCE CC dans le cadre

d’un système TCE CC. Le traitement des réclamations, la résolution des conflits et les processus de

surveillance et de mesurage de la satisfaction du client décrits respectivement dans l’ISO 10002,

l’ISO 10003 et l’ISO 10004 peuvent former des parties importantes d’un système TCE CC.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Introduction
0.1 General

Electronic commerce offers the convenience of being able to research and select from a wide range of

products and services, but consumers must usually do so without the benefit of face-to-face interactions.

The related transactions can take place across international borders, sometimes without the consumer

realizing this, and the levels of consumer protection may be different from those to which the consumer

is accustomed.

This document provides guidance to organizations for planning, designing, developing, implementing,

maintaining and improving an effective and efficient system concerning business-to-consumer

electronic commerce transactions (B2C ECTs).

An effective and efficient business-to-consumer electronic commerce transaction (B2C ECT) system

can assist consumers and organizations in addressing all aspects of a transaction.

This document gives guidance on how organizations can implement such a B2C ECT system and thereby:

a) provide a basis for consumers to have increased confidence in B2C ECTs;
b) enhance the ability of organizations to satisfy consumers;
c) reduce complaints and disputes.

A B2C ECT involves electronic interactions between the organization and the consumer, when accessed

by the consumer through any device with wired or wireless connectivity (e.g. personal computers,

e-tablets, personal digital assistants and cell phones). For the purposes of this document, a B2C ECT can

also involve other data-based telecommunications networks (e.g. short-text messaging) and various

interfaces, including websites, social media web pages, apps and e-mails.

NOTE ISO/CD 32111 (in preparation) provides principles and framework for electronic commerce

transaction assurance.

The guidance in this document is intended to apply to situations where a substantial part of the B2C

ECT, including at least one in-transaction phase process (e.g. processing of payment, confirmation

by the consumer of the agreement, or delivery of products and services) is facilitated by electronic

methods. It also could be useful where no B2C ECT takes place, but there is some online interaction

between the organization and the consumer, such as when an organization advertises online and does

not sell products or services online. Where distance selling does not include an online component, e.g.

a mail order, it is not the subject of this document, but some of the guidance provided could be relevant.

Considered broadly, business-to-consumer e-commerce involves a wide variety of organizations

engaged in many different activities. The focus of this document is on the organizations that directly

offer products and services to consumers, whether via their own platforms or via online marketplaces.

However, the guidance provided can be relevant to other organizations involved in any B2C ECT

transaction, including online marketplaces and price comparison sites. There are also separate

standards for organizations that facilitate transactions between consumers and providers, and

organizations that provide consumers access to publicly accessible processes where they can review

and rate products and services offered by their organizations, and access the reviews and ratings of

other consumers (see ISO/FDIS 42500 and ISO 20488).

The guidance in this document is not intended to apply to online transactions completed between

individuals (“consumer-to-consumer”). However, the guidance in this document could be relevant to

third party organizations that provide online services to facilitate consumer-to-consumer transactions

(e.g. online marketplaces).
0.2 Relationship with ISO 9001 and ISO 9004

This document is compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 9004 and supports the objectives of these two

standards through the effective and efficient application of a B2C ECT system. This document can also

be used independently of ISO 9001 and ISO 9004.

ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system. A B2C ECT system implemented in

accordance with this document (ISO 10008) can be used as an element of a quality management system.

ISO 9004 provides guidance to achieve sustained success of an organization. The use of this document

can enhance performance regarding B2C ECTs, as well as increase the satisfaction of consumers and

other relevant interested parties to facilitate the achievement of sustained success. It can also facilitate

the continual improvement of the quality of products, services and processes based on feedback from

This document is compatible with ISO 10001, ISO 10002, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004. These five standards

can be used either independently or in conjunction with each other. When used together, the standards

can be part of a broader and integrated framework for enhanced customer satisfaction in both the B2C
