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
This document provides guidance for organizations to plan, design, develop, operate, maintain and
improve an effective and efficient complaints-handling process for all types of commercial or non-
commercial activities, including those related to electronic commerce. It is intended to benefit an
organization and its customers, complainants, and other relevant interested parties.
The information obtained through the complaints-handling process can lead to improvements in
products, services and processes and, where the complaints are properly handled, can improve the
reputation of the organization, regardless of size, location and sector. In a global marketplace, the value
of using an International Standard becomes more evident since it provides confidence in the consistent
treatment of complaints.
An effective and efficient complaints-handling process reflects the needs and expectations of both the
organizations supplying products and services and those who are the recipients of those products and
services.
The handling of complaints through a process as described in this document can enhance customer
satisfaction. Encouraging customer feedback, including complaints if customers are not satisfied, can
offer opportunities to maintain or enhance customer loyalty and approval, and improve domestic and
international competitiveness.
Implementation of the process described in this document can:
— provide a complainant with access to an open and responsive complaints-handling process;
— enhance the ability of the organization to resolve complaints in a consistent, systematic, and
responsive manner, to the satisfaction of the complainant and the organization;
— enhance the ability of the organization to identify trends and eliminate causes of complaints, and
improve the organization’s operations;
— help the organization create a customer-focused approach to resolving complaints, and encourage
personnel to improve their skills in working with customers;
— provide a basis for continual review and analysis of the complaints-handling process, the resolution
of complaints, and process improvements made.
Organizations can use the complaints-handling process in conjunction with customer satisfaction codes
of conduct and external dispute resolution processes.
The satisfaction of persons or organizations that could or do receive a product or a service from a public
or a private organization is the focus of this document.
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 complaints-handling process. This
document can also be used independently of ISO 9001 and ISO 9004.
ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system. The process for complaints handling
described in this document (ISO 10002) 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
(ISO 10002) can enhance performance in the area of complaints handling and increase the satisfaction
of customers 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 customers and other relevant interested parties.
NOTE Apart from customers and complainants, other relevant interested parties can include suppliers,
industry associations and their members, consumer organizations, relevant government agencies, personnel,
owners and others who are affected by the complaints-handling process.
0.3  Relationship with ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004
This document is compatible with ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004. These four documents can
be used either independently or in conjunction with each other. When used together, this document,
ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004 can be part of a broader and integrated framework for enhanced
customer satisfaction through codes of conduct, complaints handling, dispute resolution and monitoring
and measurement of customer satisfaction (see Annex A).
ISO 10001 contains guidance on codes of conduct for organizations related to customer satisfaction.
Such codes of conduct can decrease the probability of problems arising and can eliminate causes of
complaints and disputes which can decrease customer satisfaction.
ISO 10003 contains guidance on the resolution of disputes regarding product- and service-related
complaints that could not be satisfactorily resolved internally. ISO 10003 can help to minimize customer
dissatisfaction stemming from unresolved complaints.
ISO 10004 contains guidance on establishing effective processes for monitoring and measuring
customer satisfaction. Its focus is on customers external to the organization. Guidelines given in
ISO 10004 can support the establishment and implementation of a complaints-handling process. For
example, the processes described in ISO 10004 can assist the organization in monitoring and measuring
customer satisfaction with the complaints-handling process (see 8.3). Likewise, information from
a complaints-handling process can be used in monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction. For
example, the frequency and type of complaints can be an indirect indicator of customer satisfaction
(see ISO 10004:2018, 7.3.2).

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
This document provides guidance for organizations to plan, design, develop, operate, maintain and
improve an effective and efficient complaints-handling process for all types of commercial or non-
commercial activities, including those related to electronic commerce. It is intended to benefit an
organization and its customers, complainants, and other relevant interested parties.
The information obtained through the complaints-handling process can lead to improvements in
products, services and processes and, where the complaints are properly handled, can improve the
reputation of the organization, regardless of size, location and sector. In a global marketplace, the value
of using an International Standard becomes more evident since it provides confidence in the consistent
treatment of complaints.
An effective and efficient complaints-handling process reflects the needs and expectations of both the
organizations supplying products and services and those who are the recipients of those products and
services.
The handling of complaints through a process as described in this document can enhance customer
satisfaction. Encouraging customer feedback, including complaints if customers are not satisfied, can
offer opportunities to maintain or enhance customer loyalty and approval, and improve domestic and
international competitiveness.
Implementation of the process described in this document can:
— provide a complainant with access to an open and responsive complaints-handling process;
— enhance the ability of the organization to resolve complaints in a consistent, systematic, and
responsive manner, to the satisfaction of the complainant and the organization;
— enhance the ability of the organization to identify trends and eliminate causes of complaints, and
improve the organization’s operations;
— help the organization create a customer-focused approach to resolving complaints, and encourage
personnel to improve their skills in working with customers;
— provide a basis for continual review and analysis of the complaints-handling process, the resolution
of complaints, and process improvements made.
Organizations can use the complaints-handling process in conjunction with customer satisfaction codes
of conduct and external dispute resolution processes.
The satisfaction of persons or organizations that could or do receive a product or a service from a public
or a private organization is the focus of this document.
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 complaints-handling process. This
document can also be used independently of ISO 9001 and ISO 9004.
ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system. The process for complaints handling
described in this document (ISO 10002) 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
(ISO 10002) can enhance performance in the area of complaints handling and increase the satisfaction
of customers and other relevant interested parties to facilitate the achievement of sustained success. It

ISO 10002:2018(E)

can also facilitate the continual improvement of the quality of products, services and processes based
on feedback from customers and other relevant interested parties.
NOTE Apart from customers and complainants, other relevant interested parties can include suppliers,
industry associations and their members, consumer organizations, relevant government agencies, personnel,
owners and others who are affected by the complaints-handling process.
0.3  Relationship with ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004
This document is compatible with ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004. These four documents can
be used either independently or in conjunction with each other. When used together, this document,
ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004 can be part of a broader and integrated framework for enhanced
customer satisfaction through codes of conduct, complaints handling, dispute resolution and monitoring
and measurement of customer satisfaction (see Annex A).
ISO 10001 contains guidance on codes of conduct for organizations related to customer satisfaction.
Such codes of conduct can decrease the probability of problems arising and can eliminate causes of
complaints and disputes which can decrease customer satisfaction.
ISO 10003 contains guidance on the resolution of disputes regarding product- and service-related
complaints that could not be satisfactorily resolved internally. ISO 10003 can help to minimize customer
dissatisfaction stemming from unresolved complaints.
ISO 10004 contains guidance on establishing effective processes for monitoring and measuring
customer satisfaction. Its focus is on customers external to the organization. Guidelines given in
ISO 10004 can support the establishment and implementation of a complaints-handling process. For
example, the processes described in ISO 10004 can assist the organization in monitoring and measuring
customer satisfaction with the complaints-handling process (see 8.3). Likewise, information from
a complaints-handling process can be used in monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction. For
example, the frequency and type of complaints can be an indirect indicator of customer satisfaction
(see ISO 10004:2018, 7.3.2).

Introduction
0.1 Généralités
Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices permettant aux organismes de planifier, concevoir,
mettre en œuvre, tenir à jour et améliorer un processus efficace et efficient de traitement des
réclamations pour tous types d'activités, commerciales ou non, y compris celles liées au commerce
électronique. Elle est destinée à l'organisme, à ses clients, à ceux qui déposent une réclamation et aux
autres parties intéressées pertinentes.
Les informations obtenues grâce au processus de traitement des réclamations peuvent permettre
d'apporter des améliorations aux produits, aux services et aux processus et du fait d’un traitement
des réclamations efficace, peuvent améliorer la notoriété d'un organisme, indépendamment de sa
taille, de son emplacement et de son secteur d'activité. Sur le marché mondial, la valeur d'une Norme
internationale devient d'autant plus manifeste qu'elle garantit un traitement cohérent des réclamations.
Un processus de traitement des réclamations efficace et efficient reflète les besoins et attentes des
organismes fournissant des produits et services et de leurs bénéficiaires.
Le traitement des réclamations par un processus identique à celui décrit dans le présent document
peut accroître la satisfaction du client. Encourager le retour d'information des clients, y compris les
réclamations si les clients ne sont pas satisfaits, peut permettre de conserver ou de consolider la fidélité
et l'adhésion du client et accroître la compétitivité au niveau national et international.
— La mise en œuvre du processus décrit dans le présent document peut:
— fournir au réclamant l'accès à un processus de traitement des réclamations ouvert et réactif;
— augmenter la capacité de l'organisme à traiter les réclamations de manière cohérente, systématique
et rapide pour ainsi satisfaire le réclamant et l'organisme;
— augmenter la capacité de l'organisme à identifier les tendances et à éliminer de nombreuses causes
à l'origine des réclamations, améliorant ainsi les activités opérationnelles de l'organisme;
— permettre à l'organisme d'adopter une approche orientée client pour la résolution des réclamations
et encourager le personnel à améliorer ses compétences en collaborant avec des clients;
— servir de base au contrôle permanent et à l'analyse du processus de traitement des réclamations, de
la résolution des réclamations et des améliorations apportées au processus.
L'organisme peut choisir d'utiliser le processus de traitement des réclamations en conjonction avec les
processus externes de résolution des conflits ainsi que les codes de conduite relatifs à la satisfaction
des clients.
Le présent document porte sur la satisfaction des personnes ou des organismes qui sont susceptibles de
recevoir ou qui reçoivent un produit ou un service d'un organisme public ou privé.
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 soutient les objectifs de ces deux
normes grâce à une application efficace et efficiente du processus de traitement des réclamations. Le
présent document peut également être utilisé indépendamment de l’ISO 9001 et de l’ISO 9004.
L'ISO 9001 spécifie les exigences d’un système de management de la qualité. Le processus de traitement
des réclamations décrit dans le présent document (ISO 10002) peut être utilisé comme un élément d'un
système de management de la qualité.
L'ISO 9004 fournit des lignes directrices permettant à un organisme d’obtenir des performances
durables. L'utilisation du présent document (ISO 10002) peut permettre d'améliorer les performances
dans le domaine du traitement des réclamations et d'augmenter la satisfaction des clients et des autres
parties intéressées pertinentes pour contribuer à l'obtention de performances durables. Cela peut
vi © ISO 2018 – Tous droits réservés

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 10002:2018(F)

également contribuer à l'amélioration continue de la qualité des produits, des services et des processus,
grâce au retour d'information des clients comme des autres parties intéressées pertinentes.
NOTE Hormis les clients et les réclamants, les autres parties intéressées pertinentes peuvent inclure les
fournisseurs, les associations d'industriels et leurs membres, les associations de consommateurs, les agences
gouvernementales pertinentes, le personnel, les propriétaires et les autres parties concernées par le processus
de traitement des réclamations.
0.3 Relation avec l'ISO 10001, l'ISO 10003 et l'ISO 10004
Le présent document est compatible avec l'ISO 10001, l'ISO 10003 et l'ISO 10004. Ces quatre documents
peuvent être utilisés indépendamment ou conjointement. Lorsqu'ils sont utilisés conjointement, le
présent document, l'ISO 10001, l'ISO 10003 et l'ISO 10004 peuvent faire partie d'un cadre intégré plus
large visant à accroître la satisfaction du client par le biais de codes de conduite, du traitement des
réclamations, de la résolution des conflits ainsi que de la surveillance et de la mesure de la satisfaction
du client (voir Annexe A).
L'ISO 10001 contient des lignes directrices relatives aux codes de conduite des organismes liés à
la satisfaction du client. De tels codes de conduite peuvent diminuer la probabilité d'apparition de
problèmes et peuvent éliminer les causes de plaintes et de conflits qui diminuent la satisfaction du client.
L'ISO 10003 contient des lignes directrices relatives à la résolution des conflits concernant les
réclamations liées aux produits et services, qui ne peuvent pas être résolus de manière satisfaisante en
interne. L’ISO 10003 peut aider à minimiser l’insatisfaction du client issue de plaintes non résolues.
L'ISO 10004 contient des lignes directrices relatives à l'établissement de processus efficaces pour la
surveillance et la mesure de la satisfaction du client. Elle est axée sur les clients externes à l'organisme.
Les lignes directrices fournies dans l'ISO 10004 peuvent soutenir l'établissement et la mise en œuvre
d'un processus de traitement des réclamations. Par exemple, les processus décrits dans l'ISO 10004
peuvent aider l'organisme à surveiller et mesurer la satisfaction du client en ce qui concerne le processus
de traitement des réclamations (voir 8.3). De même, les informations issues du processus de traitement
des réclamations peuvent être utilisées pour surveiller et mesurer la satisfaction du client. Par exemple,
la fréquence et le type de réclamations peuvent être un indicateur indirect de la satisfaction du client
(voir l'ISO 10004:2018, 7.3.2).

Prólogo
ISO (Organización Internacional de Normalización) es una federación mundial de organismos
nacionales de normalización (organismos miembros de ISO). El trabajo de elaboración de las Normas
Internacionales se lleva a cabo normalmente a través de los comités técnicos de ISO. Cada organismo
miembro interesado en una materia para la cual se haya establecido un comité técnico, tiene el derecho
de estar representado en dicho comité. Las organizaciones internacionales, gubernamentales y no
gubernamentales, vinculadas con ISO, también participan en el trabajo. ISO colabora estrechamente con
la Comisión Electrotécnica Internacional (IEC) en todos los temas de normalización electrotécnica.
En la Parte 1 de las Directivas ISO/IEC se describen los procedimientos utilizados para desarrollar este
documento y aquellos previstos para su mantenimiento posterior. En particular debería tomarse nota de
los diferentes criterios de aprobación necesarios para los distintos tipos de documentos ISO. Este
documento ha sido redactado de acuerdo con las reglas editoriales de la Parte 2 de las Directivas ISO/IEC
(véase www.iso.org/directives).

ISO 10002:2018 (traducción oficial)
Introducción
0.1 Generalidades
Este documento proporciona orientación a las organizaciones para diseñar, desarrollar, implementar,
mantener y mejorar un proceso de tratamiento de las quejas eficaz y eficiente para todo tipo de
actividades comerciales o no comerciales, incluyendo a las relacionadas con el comercio electrónico.
Está destinada a beneficiar a la organización y a sus clientes, reclamantes y otras partes interesadas
pertinentes.
La información obtenida a través del proceso de tratamiento de las quejas puede llevar a mejoras en los
productos, servicios y procesos y, cuando las quejas se tratan apropiadamente, puede mejorar la
reputación de la organización, independientemente de su tamaño, ubicación y sector. En un mercado
globalizado, el valor de utilizar una Norma Internacional se hace más evidente ya que ésta proporciona
confianza de un tratamiento coherente de las quejas.
Un proceso de tratamiento de las quejas eficaz y eficiente refleja las necesidades y expectativas tanto de
las organizaciones que proveen los productos y servicios como de quienes los reciben.
El tratamiento de las quejas a través de un proceso como está descrito en este documento puede
incrementar la satisfacción del cliente. Alentando la retroalimentación del cliente, incluyendo las quejas
si los clientes no están satisfechos, se pueden ofrecer oportunidades para conservar o incrementar la
lealtad y aprobación del cliente, y mejorar la competitividad local e internacional.
La implementación del proceso descrito en este documento puede:
— proporcionar al reclamante acceso a un proceso de tratamiento de las quejas abierto y sencillo;
— incrementar la capacidad de la organización de resolver las quejas de forma coherente, sistemática
y responsable para lograr la satisfacción del reclamante y de la organización;
— incrementar la habilidad de la organización para identificar tendencias, eliminar las causas de las
quejas y mejorar las operaciones de la organización;
— ayudar a la organización a crear un enfoque centrado en el cliente para la resolución de las quejas y
motivar al personal a mejorar sus habilidades en el trabajo con los clientes;
— proporcionar una base para la revisión y análisis continuo del proceso de tratamiento de las quejas,
su resolución y los procesos de mejora realizados.
Las organizaciones pueden utilizar, el proceso de tratamiento de las quejas junto con los procesos
externos de resolución de conflictos y los códigos de conducta relativos a la satisfacción del cliente.
El enfoque de este documento es la satisfacción de las personas u organizaciones que podrían recibir, o
reciben, un producto o un servicio de una organización pública o privada.
0.2 Relación con las Normas ISO 9001 e ISO 9004
Este documento es compatible con las Normas ISO 9001 e ISO 9004, y da apoyo a los objetivos de las
dos normas a través de la aplicación eficaz y eficiente del proceso de tratamiento de las quejas. Este
documento también se puede utilizar de forma independiente de las Normas ISO 9001 e ISO 9004.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 10002:2018 (traducción oficial)
La Norma ISO 9001 especifica requisitos para un sistema de gestión de la calidad. El proceso de
tratamiento de las quejas descrito en este documento (ISO 10002) puede utilizarse como un elemento de
un sistema de gestión de la calidad.
La Norma ISO 9004 proporciona orientación para lograr el éxito sostenido de una organización. El uso
de este documento (ISO 10002) puede promover la mejora del desempeño en las áreas de tratamiento
de las quejas e incrementar la satisfacción del cliente y de otras partes interesadas pertinentes para
facilitar el logro del éxito sostenido. Esto también puede facilitar la mejora continua de la calidad de los
productos, servicios y procesos basándose en la retroalimentación del cliente y de otras partes
interesadas pertinentes.
NOTA Aparte de los clientes y los reclamantes, otras partes interesadas pueden incluir proveedores,
asociaciones industriales y sus miembros, organizaciones de consumidores, agencias gubernamentales
pertinentes, personal, propietarios y otros que estén afectados por el proceso de tratamiento de las quejas.
0.3 Relación con las Normas ISO 10001, ISO 10003 e ISO 10004
Este documento es compatible con las Normas ISO 10001, ISO 10003 e ISO 10004. Estos cuatro
documentos pueden utilizarse independientemente o en forma conjunta. Cuando se usan juntos, este
documento, la Norma ISO 10001, la Norma ISO 10003 y la Norma ISO 10004 pueden ser parte de un
marco más amplio e integrado para mejorar la satisfacción del cliente a través de códigos de conducta,
resolución de conflictos, seguimiento y medición de la satisfacción de los clientes y tratamiento de las
quejas (véase el Anexo A).
ISO 10001 contiene orientación sobre códigos de conducta para organizaciones relacionadas con la
satisfacción del cliente. Tales códigos de conducta pueden disminuir la probabilidad de que surjan
problemas y pueden eliminar las causas de quejas y conflictos que pueden disminuir la satisfacción del
cliente.
ISO 10003 contiene directrices sobre la resolución de conflictos relativas a quejas relacionadas con
productos y servicios que no pudieron resolverse internamente de forma satisfactoria. ISO 10003 puede
ayudar a minimizar la insatisfacción de los clientes que provienen de quejas no resueltas.
ISO 10004 contiene orientación sobre el establecimiento de procesos efectivos para monitorear y medir
la satisfacción del cliente. Se centra en clientes externos a la organización. Las directrices dadas en
ISO 10004 pueden apoyar el establecimiento y la implementación de un proceso de tratamiento de las
quejas. Por ejemplo, los procesos descritos en ISO 10004 pueden ayudar a la organización a monitorear
y medir la satisfacción del cliente con el proceso de tratamiento de las quejas (ver 8.3). Asimismo, la
información de un proceso de tratamiento de reclamaciones puede ser utilizada para monitorear y
medir la satisfacción del cliente. Por ejemplo, la frecuencia y el tipo de quejas pueden ser un indicador
indirecto de la satisfacción del cliente (véase la Norma ISO 10004:2018, 7.3.2).

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.

Introduction
0.1 General
This International Standard provides guidance for organizations to plan, design, develop, operate,
maintain and improve an effective and efficient complaints-handling process for all types of commercial
or non-commercial activities, including those related to electronic commerce. It is intended to benefit
an organization and its customers, complainants, and other relevant interested parties.
The information obtained through the complaints-handling process can lead to improvements in
products, services and processes and, where the complaints are properly handled, can improve the
reputation of the organization, regardless of size, location, and sector. In a global marketplace, the
value of an International Standard becomes more evident since it provides confidence in the consistent
treatment of complaints.
An effective and efficient complaints-handling process reflects the needs and expectations of both the
organizations supplying products and services and those who are the recipients of those products and
services.
The handling of complaints through a process as described in this International Standard can enhance
customer satisfaction. Encouraging customer feedback, including complaints if customers are not
satisfied, can offer opportunities to maintain or enhance customer loyalty and approval, and improve
domestic and international competitiveness.
— Implementation of the process described in this International Standard can
— provide a complainant with access to an open and responsive complaints-handling process,
— enhance the ability of the organization to resolve complaints in a consistent, systematic, and
responsive manner, to the satisfaction of the complainant and the organization,
— enhance the ability of an organization to identify trends and eliminate causes of complaints, and
improve the organization’s operations,
— help an organization create a customer-focused approach to resolving complaints, and encourage
personnel to improve their skills in working with customers, and
— provide a basis for continual review and analysis of the complaints-handling process, the resolution
of complaints, and process improvements made.
Organizations can use the complaints-handling process in conjunction with customer satisfaction codes
of conduct and external dispute resolution processes.
The satisfaction of persons or organizations that could or do receive a product or a service from a public
or a private organization is the focus of this International Standard.
0.2 Relationship with ISO 9001 and ISO 9004
This International Standard is compatible with ISO 9001 and ISO 9004, and supports the objectives
of these two International Standards through the effective and efficient application of a complaints-
handling process. It can also be used independently of them.
ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system that can be used for internal
application by organizations, or for certification, or for contractual purposes. The process for complaints
handling described in this International Standard (ISO 10002) can be used as an element of a quality
management system.
ISO 9004 provides guidance on managing for the sustained success of an organization. The use of this
International Standard (ISO 10002) can enhance performance in the area of complaints handling and
increase the satisfaction of customers 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 customers and other relevant interested parties.
0.3 Relationship with ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004
This International Standard is compatible with ISO 10001, ISO 10003 and ISO 10004. These four
International Standards can be used either independently or in conjunction with each other. When used
together, this International Standard, ISO 10001, ISO 10003, and ISO 10004 can be part of a broader
and integrated framework for enhanced customer satisfaction through codes of conduct, complaints
handling, dispute resolution and monitoring and measurement of customer satisfaction (see Annex A).
ISO 10001 contains guidance on codes of conduct for organizations related to customer satisfaction.
Such codes of conduct can decrease the probability of problems arising and can eliminate causes of
complaints and disputes which can decrease customer satisfaction.
ISO 10003 contains guidance on the resolution of disputes regarding product-and service-related
complaints that could not be satisfactorily resolved internally. ISO 10003 can help to minimize customer
dissatisfaction stemming from unresolved complaints.
ISO 10004 contains guidance on establishing effective processes for monitoring and measuring
customer satisfaction. Its focus is on customers external to the organization. Guidelines given in
ISO 10004 can support the establishment and implementation of a complaints-handling process. For
example, the processes described in ISO 10004 can assist the organization in monitoring and measuring
customer satisfaction with the complaints-handling process (see 8.3). Likewise, information from
a complaints-handling process can be used in monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction. For
example, the frequency and type of complaints can be an indirect indicator of customer satisfaction
(see ISO 10004, 7.3.2).
