ISO 8000-64:2022 PDF Download

ISO 8000-64:2022 is a standard that provides guidance on applying the Test Process Improvement method to assess the maturity of organizational processes. While the Test Process Improvement method originally served a broader purpose, this document focuses specifically on its application in data quality management. It supports organizations in improving data quality management by using the process reference model in ISO 8000-61 to define measurement goals for process assessments.

The standard specifies the relationship between the Test Process Improvement method and the procedure for assessing process maturity in data quality management as outlined in ISO 8000-61. It also emphasizes the role of process measurement, in accordance with ISO 8000-63, in conducting process maturity assessments. The outputs of the assessment procedure are also addressed.

However, the standard also clarifies what falls outside its scope. It does not cover the purpose, outcomes, and activities of data quality management processes. It does not provide specific content for the scope of individual quality management areas, maturity levels, and maturity level targets. Furthermore, it does not offer instructions on developing a process improvement strategy based on the assessment outputs.

ISO 8000-64:2022 can be used in conjunction with quality management systems standards or independently. It offers organizations a framework for evaluating the maturity of their data quality management processes and provides guidance on using the Test Process Improvement method effectively.
