ISO 8000 is an international standard focused on data quality and information exchange. Its primary
purpose is to define and measure the quality of data, ensuring that it meets the requirements for
completeness, accuracy, and consistency. The standard provides guidelines for data quality
management, including requirements for data governance, data quality metrics, and procedures for
improving data quality over time. ISO 8000 is not meant to replace ISO 9000, which is focused on
quality management systems, but to complement it by addressing data quality specifically.
