What is a Complaint?

AS ISO 10002-2006, defines a complaint as follows:

“An expression of dissatisfaction made to an organisation, related to its products, or the complaints–handling process itself, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected.”

SEC Services adopts that definition of “Complaint” for the purposes of this Policy. In particular, we note that:

  • a Complaint requires a Response and/or Resolution.

Which can be distinguished from:

  • Negative Feedback which does not necessarily require a Response.
