ISO 8000

ISO 8000 is the international standard for Data Quality and Master Data. Widely adopted internationally it describes the features and defines the requirements for standard exchange of Master Data among business partners. It establishes the concept of Portability as a requirement for Master Data, and the concept that true Master Data is unique to each organization.

ISO 8000 is one of the emerging technology standards that organizations use in order to improve data quality and business processes, and to support system integration, for example in the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

When standardized to comply with ISO 8000, master data is used to manage critical business information, most commonly in the context of a digital supply chain although also used across public services e.g. health, about products, services and materials, constituents, clients and counterparties, and for certain immutable transactional and operational records.

ISO 8000 standards are international standards and are part of a wider group of standards for data quality that include ISO 8601 Formatting of date and time, ISO 22745-10 Open technical dictionaries (metadata and reference data), ISO 22745-30 Formatting data requirement statements (templates) and ISO 25500 for Supply Chain Interoperability and Integration.

Application of the ISO 8000 standard to master data is intended to improve data quality and data portability and so reduce procurement costs, promote inventory optimization, and deliver greater efficiency and cost savings in supply chain management.

Government agencies in major economies involved in the supervision and regulation of financial and commodities markets, telecommunications, media, high technology and military have adopted ISO 8000 Master Data strategies, and several are establishing audits and controls based upon ISO 8000.

By defining requirements for data quality and data portability in corporate master data, ISO 8000 supports the principles of the EU Open Data Directive (2019) for example by enabling “data to be available in real time and via APIs”. Use of ISO 8000 to standardize data within product technical specifications (compliant to ISO 8000-115) supports international trade initiatives such as the EU Digital Product Passport (2024) regulations, whose ambition is to provide comprehensive, standardized, accessible product data openly available to anyone.

ISO 8000 is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It was first proposed in 2002, and the first components were approved in 2009. It has been updated subsequently since then. Its originating principles derive from the NATO Codification System for creating standardized descriptions for product items procured via the supply chain and held in inventory.
