CSA ISO/IEC 21000-8:09 (R2019)

CSA Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T). This Standard supersedes CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 21000-8-07 (adoption of ISO/IEC 21000-8:2006). At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 21000-8:2008 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This International Standard describes reference software implementing the normative clauses of the other parts of ISO/IEC 21000. The information provided is applicable for determining the reference software modules available for parts of ISO/IEC 21000, understanding the functionality of the available reference software modules, and utilizing the available reference software modules. In addition to the reference software, available (integrated) utility software that utilizes the reference software is also described. This utility software can assist in understanding how to utilize the reference software, as well as providing further insight into the applicable parts of ISO/IEC 21000, e.g.informative clauses of the other parts of ISO/IEC 21000.
