Five questions · short answers · the page behind each
The questions a quality lead, a supplier and an acquirer ask first, answered in a paragraph and linked to the record page that carries the detail.
Answer
ISO/IEC 25000-23 is the new multipart number for the SQuaRE standard that measures product quality. Part 23 defines quality measures for the characteristics and subcharacteristics of the ISO/IEC 25010 product quality model, and replaces ISO/IEC 25023:2016.
Answer
The draft follows the 2023 product quality model instead of the 2011 model: nine characteristics instead of eight, forty measure families, five annexes instead of three, and a new multipart number. Four subcharacteristics in the model have no separate measure family in the draft.
Answer
ISO has not announced a date. The draft is at stage 40.20, with its second DIS ballot opened on 10 September 2026. This site plans against 16 September 2027, an estimate about 330 days from the build date, and treats the stage record as the fact.
Answer
ISO/IEC 25010 defines the product quality model: nine characteristics and forty-four subcharacteristics. ISO/IEC 25000-23 defines the measures and measurement functions for that model. One says what quality is; the other says how to count it.
Answer
Pick the characteristics you report, map each to a measure family in clause 6, build each measure from quality measure elements through a fixed measurement function, record the population, and keep the evidence. The draft supplies the measures; your requirements supply the targets.
The rules this is built from
Every line points to the public ISO record or the free preview it came from, so you can check it yourself.
The measure set is read from the public contents; the model table is read from the public 25010:2023 model. Where the draft text is not public, the page says so instead of filling the gap.
