A dated plan from the ballot to the published second edition
The dates ISO records, the dates this site derives from them, and the ones that are only an estimate. Each line carries its status so a plan can be built without borrowing certainty the record does not have.
- 40.20DIS ballot initiated5 October 2026, recorded
The draft is with national bodies for a 12 week enquiry. Comments and votes are being collected.
- 40.60Close of votingNot recorded. A 12 week ballot from 5 October would close on 28 December 2026.
The ISO page does not record this date. The arithmetic is shown so a plan can use it, labelled derived.
- 50.00ApprovalNot recorded
The final text is received or an FDIS is registered. The timing depends on the vote and the comments.
- 60.60Published14 September 2027, an estimate
The planning date used on this site. It is not an ISO commitment and it will move if the ballot does.
An estimate for planning, 330 days from the build date of 19 October 2026 and 344 days from the recorded 40.20 date of 5 October 2026. ISO has not recorded a 40.60 date, a 50.00 date, a 60.00 date or a 60.60 date. The date is labelled an estimate wherever it appears and is not an ISO commitment.
A recorded 40.60 date, a comment resolution that needs a second ballot, an FDIS stage, or a publication date. Each one is a change the watch sends. The estimate is replaced, not defended.
The ballot is with ISO's national members. Comments and votes go through the member body for your country, not through this site. A 12 week ballot from 5 October would close on 28 December 2026; ask your member body for its own comment deadline and, after the vote, for the ballot report. The committee is ISO/TC 215, Health informatics.
Work back from the estimate: a review of the register 90 days before, a decision on the edition to cite 60 days before, and a re-read of every procedure that names the standard 30 days before. If the date moves, the plan moves with it.

Recorded means the ISO page carries the date. Derived means the arithmetic from a recorded date and a stated interval. Estimate means this site's planning date. The three are never mixed without a label.
