12、ion) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to
13、deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and
14、 IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. 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 document shou
15、ld 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 and IEC shall not be held responsibl

19、ISO/IEC 33001:2015ISO/IEC 33001:2015(E) Introduction This International Standard provides a glossary of terms related to the performance of process assessment, together with an overall introduction to the concepts and standards framework for process assessment. This International Standard identifies
20、 the principal components supporting the performance of process assessment, describes the results of process assessment, and gives an overview of the ways in which the results of assessment can be applied. This International Standard is part of a set of International Standards designed to provide a
21、consistent and coherent framework for the assessment of process quality characteristics, based on objective evidence resulting from implementation of the processes. The framework for assessment covers processes employed in the development, maintenance, and use of systems across the information techn
22、ology domain and those employed in the design, transition, delivery, and improvement of services. The set of International Standards, as a whole, addresses process quality characteristics of any type. Results of assessment can be applied for improving process performance, benchmarking, or for identi
23、fying and addressing risks associated with application of processes. The set of International Standards ISO/IEC 33001:2015, ISO/IEC 33099, termed the ISO/IEC 330xx family, defines the requirements and resources needed for process assessment. The overall architecture and content of the series is desc
24、ribed in this International Standard. General issues relating to the application of conformity assessment to process capability and organizational process maturity are addressed in ISO/IEC 29169. Several International Standards in the ISO/IEC 330xx family of standards for process assessment are inte
25、nded to replace and extend parts of the ISO/IEC 15504 series of Standards 13 . Annex A in this Standard provides a detailed record of the relationship between the ISO/IEC 330xx family and the ISO/IEC 15504 series.

26、n technology Process assessment Concepts and terminology 1 Scope This International Standard provides a repository for key terminology relating to process assessment. It gives overall information on the concepts of process assessment, the application of process assessment for evaluating the achievem
27、ent of process quality characteristics, and the application of the results of process assessment to the conduct of process management. This International Standard provides an introduction to the ISO/IEC 330xx family of standards for process assessment; it describes how the parts of the family of sta
28、ndards for process assessment fit together and provides guidance for their selection and use. It explains the requirements contained within the suite and their applicability to performing assessments. Readers of this International Standard should familiarize themselves with the terminology and struc
29、ture of the document suite and then reference the appropriate elements of the suite for the context in which they propose to conduct an assessment. NOTE This International Standard addresses terms used in ISO/IEC 33001 to ISO/IEC 33019 of the ISO/IEC 330xx family, as well as key terms used in other
30、documents in the family. Terms specific to documents from ISO/IEC 33020 to ISO/IEC 33099 are defined in each document. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
