What is recorded, what is derived, what is an estimate
The public record gives one date: close of voting on 20 June 2026. Everything after that is a path, not a promise. This page separates the three kinds of date so a reader can tell what ISO has committed to.
40.60 on 20 June 2026
Close of voting, on the ISO stage feed and the public scope. The only date ISO records for this draft.
40.92 or 40.93 next
Approved for registration as an FDIS, or not approved and a new committee draft ballot. The public record does not say which.
16 September 2027
A planning estimate, 453 days from 40.60 and 329 days from the build date. Not an ISO commitment.

Derived
Stage 40.60 means the DIS ballot has closed. The next recorded stage is 40.92 if the DIS is approved for registration as an FDIS, or 40.93 if it is not approved and a new committee draft ballot follows. The public record does not show which. The normal path then runs through an FDIS ballot, a 50.00 registration, publication under 60.00 and publication at 60.60. Each of those stages can slip.
Estimated
The planning date used on this site is 16 September 2027. It is 453 days from the recorded 40.60 date and 329 days from the build date of 22 October 2026. It is labelled an estimate wherever it appears and is not an ISO commitment. The change watch sends when a real date replaces it.
What to put in your own calendar
- Your next surveillance or recertification date, from your certification agreement.
- The certification body's transition rule, in writing, if the draft publishes.
- The estimate, marked as an estimate, as a review point rather than a deadline.
- The date you will re-read the stage record, or let the watch do it.
Read from the real rules, not invented
Every answer on this site points to the official clause behind it, so you can check any line yourself. The register holds 36 records in our own words, 122 evidence lines and 110 common failure lines. The revision facts come from the ISO stage record and the public scope of the draft. The clause substance comes from ISO 22301:2019, the published requirements standard the draft says it aligns with.
One page per requirement
The requirement in our words, the evidence an auditor asks for, the common failures and what to do before the estimate.
