What is ISO/IEC 20000-1?

ISO/IEC 20000-1 is the standard for IT service management. It defines how a provider should design, deliver and improve IT services so that agreed service levels are met. It is closely aligned with ITIL practice and is often requested from managed service, support and hosting providers.

Who needs it?

  • IT support and managed service providers
  • Software companies offering maintenance or SaaS
  • Data centre, hosting and cloud providers
  • Internal IT departments serving large organisations

FROM APPLICATION TO DECISION

How it works

01

Define scope and buyer needs

Identify activities, sites, the standard and edition, and any buyer or tender accreditation requirement.

02

Confirm the certification route

Check the issuing body, accreditation scope, assessment arrangements and total fees in writing before payment.

03

Prepare documents and evidence

Submit initial business documents and the records needed to demonstrate how your management system operates.

04

Complete review and assessment

The applicable review or audit may require additional evidence and corrective action. Timing depends on scope and readiness.

05

Decision and ongoing review

Issuance depends on successful review, not payment alone. Check the issued scope and arrange applicable surveillance and renewal.

STARTING YOUR APPLICATION

Initial business documents

These establish who is applying and the proposed business scope. They are the starting point; the service-specific review or assessment can require additional operational evidence.

01

Business registration

Udyam, incorporation certificate or shop licence.

02

Letterhead or visiting card

Your business name and contact details.

03

One business invoice

A recent sales or purchase invoice.

04

Your business scope

What you do, in one or two clear lines.

Prepare for ISO/IEC 20000-1

Use these it service management system checks to organise your preparation. For each item, identify the responsible person, the procedure used and a recent record showing what happens in practice.

  • Defined scope and service catalogue
  • Service level management and reporting
  • Incident, service request and problem management
  • Change, release and configuration management
  • Supplier, capacity, availability and continuity management

Make your evidence match your scope

  • Describe the actual activities and locations to be reviewed, including outsourced work and responsibilities retained by your business.
  • Choose current examples from your own operation. Record the date, responsible person and outcome so the reviewer can connect the evidence to your stated scope.
  • Identify missing records or unfinished actions before assessment. A policy or blank template alone does not show how a process operates.
  • Ask which records apply to your selected service and scope. This preparation checklist is not an exhaustive assessment or a promise of certification.

Questions about ISO/IEC 20000-1

ISO 27001 is about protecting information. ISO/IEC 20000-1 is about delivering IT services to agreed levels. Many IT companies hold both.
