12、hart 32 Bibliography . 34 BS ISO 10003:2007vForeword 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 membe
13、r 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 Elec
14、trotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopt
15、ed by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of paten
16、t rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10003 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 176, Quality management and quality assurance, Subcommittee SC 3, Supporting technologies. BS ISO 10003:2007vi Introduction 0.1 General This International S
17、tandard provides guidance for organizations to plan, design, develop, operate, maintain and improve effective and efficient external dispute resolution for product-related complaints. Dispute resolution gives an avenue of redress when organizations do not remedy a complaint internally. Most complain
18、ts can be resolved successfully within the organization, without the need for further time-consuming and more adversarial procedures. NOTE 1 Organizations are encouraged to develop an effective and efficient internal complaints-handling process consistent with ISO 10002. There are different methods
19、for resolving disputes and different terms used to describe them. These methods are facilitative, advisory or determinative (see Annex A). Each method can be used by itself or the methods can be used in sequence. This International Standard can be used to a) design a dispute-resolution process and d
20、ecide when to offer dispute resolution to complainants, and b) select a dispute-resolution provider (hereinafter referred to as “provider”; see 3.9) that is able to meet an organizations specific needs and expectations. NOTE 2 Providers from the public and private sectors can take various forms arou
21、nd the world, including industry-sector specific associations, ombudsmen and multi-sector associations. While this International Standard is directed towards organizations, providers can also benefit from knowing what guidance is being given to organizations. Providers can also use the guidance in t
22、heir dispute-resolution process. Organizations are encouraged to plan, design, develop, operate, maintain and improve a dispute-resolution process in conjunction with a customer satisfaction code of conduct and internal complaints-handling process, and to integrate them with the organizations qualit
23、y or other management systems. This International Standard can assist individuals and organizations in evaluating the effectiveness, efficiency and fairness of an organizations dispute-resolution process. Implementation of this International Standard can: provide flexible dispute resolution that, in
24、 comparison with court-based processes, can be less expensive, easier and quicker, especially in disputes across borders; help to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty; provide a benchmark against which individuals and organizations can evaluate claims by organizations and providers that they op
25、erate in an effective, efficient and fair manner; help to inform potential users of dispute resolution about the conditions of access, cost and the legal consequences; enhance the ability of an organization to identify and eliminate causes of disputes; improve the way complaints and disputes are han
26、dled in the organization; provide additional information that can contribute to improvement of the organizations processes and products; improve the organizations reputation or avoid damage to it; BS ISO 10003:2007vii improve domestic and international competitiveness; provide confidence of fair and
27、 consistent treatment of disputes throughout the global marketplace. Note that external dispute resolution can be the subject of statutory and regulatory requirements. NOTE 3 Terminology used in connection with dispute resolution is not always the same throughout the world. Annex A provides a glossa
28、ry of some of the equivalent terms. 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 standards through the effective and efficient application of a dispute-resolution process. This International
29、Standard can also be used independently of ISO 9001 and ISO 9004. 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 dispute-resolution process described in this Internatio
30、nal Standard (ISO 10003) can be used as an element of a quality management system. This International Standard is not intended for certification or for contractual purposes. ISO 9004 provides guidance on continual improvement of performance regarding quality management systems. The use of this Inter
31、national Standard (ISO 10003) can further enhance performance in resolving disputes with complainants and increase the satisfaction of customers, complainants and other interested parties. It can also facilitate the continual improvement of the quality of processes and products based on feedback fro
32、m customers, complainants and other interested parties. NOTE Apart from customers and complainants, other interested parties can include suppliers, industry associations and their members, consumer organizations, relevant government agencies, personnel, owners and others who are affected by the disp
33、ute-resolution process. 0.3 Relationship with ISO 10001 and ISO 10002 This International Standard is compatible with ISO 10001 and ISO 10002. These three standards can be used either independently or in conjunction with each other. When used together, ISO 10001, ISO 10002 and this International Stan
34、dard can be part of a broader and integrated framework for enhanced customer satisfaction through codes of conduct, complaints handling and dispute resolution (see Annex B). ISO 10001 contains guidance on customer satisfaction codes of conduct for organizations. Such codes, in setting out what custo
35、mers can expect from the organization and its products, can decrease the likelihood of problems arising and can eliminate causes of complaints and disputes. When complaints and disputes do arise, the existence of codes of conduct can assist the parties in understanding customer expectations and the
36、organizations attempts to meet those expectations. ISO 10002 contains guidance on the internal handling of product-related complaints. This International Standard (ISO 10003) can be used when complaints are not resolved internally. 0.4 Statements regarding conformity This International Standard is d
37、esigned to be used solely as a guidance document. Where all applicable guidance provided in this International Standard has been implemented, statements that a dispute-resolution process is based on that guidance can be made. However, any statements claiming or implying conformity to this Internatio
38、nal Standard are inconsistent with this International Standard, and it is therefore inappropriate to make such statements. NOTE Statements claiming or implying conformity to this International Standard are thus inappropriate in any promotional and communication material, such as press releases, adve
39、rtisements, marketing brochures, videos, staff announcements, logos, slogans and catch lines for diverse media, ranging from print and broadcasting to Internet and multi-media applications, to product labels, signs and banners.
