About this record
This is a cited record of ISO/IEC DIS 9798-5, written for the people who have to decide whether an entity authentication mechanism in their estate still fits, and how to evidence the answer. It is free to read and it does not certify anyone.
Who writes it
Gerard Blokdijk and The Art of Service. The same team maintains the compliance framework library and the revision checkers for the rest of the ISO/IEC 9798 family and its neighbours. The record is written by a person, reviewed against the source, and refreshed by a script that fails loudly when the public record moves.
What it is
- A record of what each clause of the 2009 edition asks, and what the fourth edition will replace
- A scope check that reads your answers against the recorded clauses
- A dated plan and an evidence list that an auditor can sample
- A change watch that sends the diff when the public record moves
What it is not
- Not legal advice, and not a certification. There is no certificate for this standard.
- Not the ISO text. Every requirement is paraphrased in our own words, and the citation tells you where to check it.
- Not a claim that the DIS text matches the 2009 edition. The public record stops at stage 40.20, and the site says so on every page.
- Not affiliated with ISO or the IEC.
The boundary, stated plainly
The DIS text is held by national bodies and is not on the open web. The publisher preview of the 2009 edition gives the contents, the foreword, the introduction, the terms and clauses 4 to 4.2. The ISO record gives the designation, edition, stage, stage date, committee, ICS and page count. The site builds the record from those two sources plus the public stage history, and it labels the 2009 obligation as the baseline that the revision will replace.
How to check a line
Open any record page and follow the source link. The citation names the clause and the edition, and the ISO record is one click away. If a line cannot be checked that way, it does not belong on the site.
