IT service management

ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018
IT service management

A service level nobody measures is a promise, not a service.

ISO/IEC 20000-1 certification demonstrates that an organization plans, designs, transitions, delivers and improves its IT services against agreed requirements, under a service management system.

Who it is for. Managed service providers, data centres, internal IT departments, telecommunications and outsourcing providers.

  • Scope of the service management system and the services covered
  • Service portfolio, catalogue and service level management
  • Relationship and agreement management, including suppliers
  • Incident, service request and problem management
  • Change, release and deployment management
  • Service continuity, availability and information security of services

Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.

How the audit runs

Audit time is determined under ISO/IEC 20000-6:2017, based on the number of personnel involved in the service management system and its complexity. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.

01.
Stage 1

Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.

02.
Stage 2

On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.

03.
Decision & surveillance

An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.

Edition and transition

Audits are conducted against ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, the current edition.

Auditing with other standards

Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.

  • What do I need to apply?
    Legal name, sites, scope of activities, headcount and shift pattern, outsourced processes, any existing certificate, and whether you received consultancy on the system and from whom.
  • Why do you ask about consultancy?
    Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
  • Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?
    Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
