The timeline

From DIS approval to a published standard

The ISO path has named stages. Only one date is recorded today: 16 September 2026, when the DIS was approved for registration as an FDIS. The rest of the timeline is the normal path, with the estimates labelled. Use it to plan, not to promise.

How the estimate was made

The estimate starts from the recorded stage date and allows the normal interval for the FDIS registration, the ballot, the approval and the publication steps. It is a planning date, not a forecast the organization should put in a contract. The ISO page does not record a publication date and this site does not invent one. The estimate is repeated on every page with the same label.

What to do at each point

NOW

Build the record

Use the published source. Complete the bias profile, the stakeholder set, the data map and the signed assessment.

AT 50.00

Check the final text

When an FDIS text is available, compare the clause list with this register and record the differences.

AT 60.60

Update the claim

When the standard is published, update the edition in the claim, the contract and the evidence index. The watch emails the change.

THE RULES THIS IS BUILT FROM

The rules this is built from

Read from the real rules, not invented. Every clause answer on this site points to the official rule behind it, so you can check any line yourself. The register holds 67 records, 269 evidence lines and 201 common failure lines. The dates come from the ISO record. The substance comes from the published IEEE edition behind the joint project.

61 CLAUSES

One page per clause

The requirement in our words, the evidence an assessor asks for, the common gaps and what to do before publication.

6 ANNEXES

Guidance, clearly labelled

Annexes A to F are informative. Each page says so, because a finding cannot rest on guidance alone.

ONE STAGE RECORD

No invented date

Stage 40.99 is recorded on 16 September 2026. The planning date is an estimate and is labelled wherever it appears.

Read the record

The ISO draft text is not public and is not reproduced. Each record cites the published clause it comes from. Where the public record is silent, the page says so.
