ISO 10004 Scope
Customer satisfaction is determined by the difference between the expectations of the customer and the level of satisfaction of the product / service offered by an organization. To ensure customer satisfaction, organizations must first properly understand the customer´s expectations. These expectations may be explicit or implicit, or they may not be fully expressed. Customer expectations as understood by the organization form the primary basis of the product that is subsequently planned and delivered. The degree to which the delivered product is perceived by the customer as meeting or exceeding expectations determines the degree of customer satisfaction. It is important to distinguish between the organization´s view of the quality of the delivered product and the customer´s perception of the delivered product. ISO 10004, which comes into play at this point, determines customer expectations and satisfaction data; It is used to collect customer satisfaction data and to monitor their ongoing satisfaction and to provide feedback for improvement of customer satisfaction.
