What is ISO 10008?

ISO 10008:2013 is a quality management standard focused on guidelines for B2C e-commerce transactions. It complements ISO 9001 by outlining processes that ensure consumers receive transparent, safe, and ethical digital transactions. The standard covers the entire lifecycle of electronic transactions — from pre-sale to post-sale — including advertising, information sharing, contracting, fulfillment, and dispute resolution.

The standard promotes fairness and consistency across digital channels, ensuring that organizations offer reliable, user-friendly, and legally compliant customer experiences in the online space.
