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.
1)
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).

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.

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.
1)
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).

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.
1)
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.

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
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

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
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.
