ISO 20000+ STANDARDS

Information Technology, Service Management, Digital Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Food Safety, Education, Healthcare & Emerging Technologies

The ISO 20000+ numerical range brings together a broad and increasingly diverse collection of international standards covering information technology, service management, digital systems, artificial intelligence, information security, food safety, education, healthcare, transportation, sustainability and specialized technical applications. One of the most prominent standards in this range is ISO/IEC 20000-1, which specifies requirements for a Service Management System (SMS). The range also contains specialized standards such as ISO 21001 for educational organizations, ISO 22000 for food safety management, ISO 22163 for railway quality management, ISO 26000 for social responsibility, ISO 26262 for automotive functional safety, and ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management. Because the 20000+ range contains management-system standards, guidance documents, technical standards and specialized requirements, the applicable certification or assessment route must be determined for each individual standard rather than treating the entire numerical range as a single certification family. (ISO)

Why Apply ISO/IEC 20000-1?

Implementation can provide a systematic framework for managing service delivery rather than relying on isolated IT processes. It can improve consistency in service planning, transition, delivery and continual improvement. It can also provide customers and stakeholders with greater confidence that service-management processes are systematically controlled. The standard is designed to work alongside other management systems and service-management practices.

Improved service consistency
Better customer experience
Defined service-management processes

Important Note

ISO 20000+ is a numerical website classification, not one unified ISO family

What Does the ISO 20000+ Range Cover?

The 20000+ range is particularly broad because it includes standards developed by different ISO technical committees for different purposes.

Areas Covered

01 IT service management 02 Information technology 03 Digital services 04 Artificial intelligence 05 Software and system quality 06 Information security 07 Privacy 08 Food safety 09 Education 10 Healthcare 11 Tourism and accommodation 12 Event sustainability 13 Railway quality management 14 Automotive functional safety 15 Social responsibility 16 Translation services 17 Biobanking 18 Water services 19 Specialized technical and service requirements

This means that ISO 20000+ should be treated as a numerical standards library rather than as one thematic ISO family.
