B.1 ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management Systems
B.1.1 Overview
ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS) when an organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system. ICO Std 2002 shares ISO 9001’s foundational principles of process control, continuous improvement, and evidence-based decision-making.

B.1.3 Consistency Assessment
ICO Std 2002 is structurally aligned with ISO 9001 through its adoption of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle:
ICO Std 2002PDCA，ISO 9001：
-
Plan : §05 (Indicator Design), §06 (Weighting Rules) — design and planning of the ranking methodology -
Do : §07 (Data Collection), §08 (Scoring and Ranking) — execution of the ranking process -
Check : §08.5 (Ranking Result Verification), §10 (Audit and Traceability) — verification and audit - Act | : §10.3 (Continuous Improvement), §10.4 (DPP-CQ Framework) — improvement and corrective action ：DPP-CQ——
Key Difference: ISO 9001 is a generic management system standard applicable to any organisation, while ICO Std 2002 is a domain-specific methodology standard for ranking systems. ICO Std 2002’s provisions are more specific to the ranking context (e.g., indicator design, weighting rules, normalisation methods) than ISO 9001’s generic quality management requirements.

B.2 ISO 10668:2010 — Brand Valuation
B.2.1 Overview
ISO 10668:2010 specifies requirements for procedures and methods of monetary brand value measurement. It provides a framework for brand valuation, including objectives, bases of valuation, approaches to valuation, methods of valuation, and sourcing of quality data and assumptions. ICO Std 2002’s brand-related ranking provisions (SE-02) align with ISO 10668’s valuation framework while extending it to non-monetary evaluation contexts.

B.2.3 Key Differences and Extensions
a) Monetary vs. non-monetary evaluation: ISO 10668 focuses exclusively on monetary brand valuation. ICO Std 2002 extends this to non-monetary brand evaluation (as defined by ISO 20671-1), providing a ranking framework that evaluates brand strength across multiple dimensions without requiring a single monetary value output. ：ISO 10668。ICO Std 2002（ISO 20671-1），，。
b) Comparative ranking: ISO 10668 evaluates individual brands. ICO Std 2002 provides a framework for comparing multiple brands in a ranking format, which requires additional provisions for normalisation, aggregation, and relative positioning. ：ISO 10668。ICO Std 2002，、。
c) Domain extension: ISO 10668 is limited to brand valuation. ICO Std 2002’s SE-02 extends the brand evaluation framework to include brand rankings, which require additional methodological considerations (e.g., indicator comparability across brands, weighting, and result presentation). ：ISO 10668。ICO Std 2002SE-02，（、）。
B.3 ISO 20671-1:2021 — Brand Evaluation
B.3.1 Overview
ISO 20671-1:2021 specifies principles and fundamentals for brand evaluation, establishing a framework that evaluates brand value through input elements (brand development) and output dimensions (brand strength and performance). ICO Std 2002’s SE-02 (Brand Value) extension module directly references and extends the ISO 20671-1 framework.

B.3.3 ICO Std 2002 Extensions Beyond ISO 20671-1
a) Ranking-specific provisions: ISO 20671-1 evaluates individual brands. ICO Std 2002 adds ranking-specific provisions for normalisation (§8.2), aggregation (§8.3), and relative positioning (§8.4) that are not addressed in ISO 20671-1. ：ISO 20671-1。ICO Std 2002ISO 20671-1（§8.2）、（§8.3）（§8.4）。
b) Weighting methodology: ISO 20671-1 does not prescribe weighting methods for brand evaluation dimensions. ICO Std 2002 provides a comprehensive weighting framework (§06) that addresses weight assignment, validation, and change control. ：ISO 20671-1。ICO Std 2002（§06），、。
c) Robustness and sensitivity analysis: ISO 20671-1 does not require robustness testing. ICO Std 2002 requires bootstrap resampling, method variation tests, and data perturbation tests (§8.5.3). ：ISO 20671-1。ICO Std 2002、（§8.5.3）。
