ISO 10001 — Customer Satisfaction

Guidance for developing and implementing a customer satisfaction code of conduct — setting clear expectations and reducing complaints before they happen.

What It Is

A framework for customer-facing commitments

ISO 10001 provides guidance for creating and applying a code of conduct related to customer satisfaction — clear commitments about how you'll treat customers, covering service delivery, complaint handling, and dispute resolution.

It works alongside broader quality systems like ISO 9001, adding a specific focus on managing customer expectations.
