Understanding the Invoicing Process for ISO Standards
When purchasing ISO standards, understanding the invoicing process is crucial to ensure smooth transactions. Below is a detailed guide to help you navigate the ordering, payment, and invoicing procedures.
Overview of the ISO Invoicing Process
ISO operates on a prepayment basis for all purchases made through the ISO Store. This means that payment must be completed before the final invoice is generated. The invoicing process is managed by the ISO Central Secretariat, ensuring consistency and compliance with international standards.
Steps for Ordering and Payment
Place Your Order: Begin by selecting the desired ISO standards and placing your order through the ISO Store.
Receive a Proforma Invoice: For bank transfer payments, a proforma invoice will be issued. This document includes payment instructions and serves as a preliminary invoice.
Complete Payment: Follow the payment instructions provided in the proforma invoice. Once the payment is successfully processed, the next step is initiated.
Invoice Generation and Retrieval
Final Invoice Issuance: After the payment is cleared, a final invoice is automatically generated and made available in your ISO Store account. This invoice serves as the official record of your transaction.
Purchase Order (PO) Number: If a purchase order (PO) number was provided during the ordering process, it will be displayed on the final invoice once it is issued.
Key Details to Note
VAT Information: Invoices issued by the ISO Central Secretariat include the VAT number CHE-105.816.788.
Invoice Access: All invoices can be accessed and downloaded directly from your ISO Store account after issuance.
