This International Standard specifies the terms and definitions as well as the service requirements for
organizations and professionals who own and/or use access panels for market, opinion and social research. It
develops the criteria against which access panel providers can be evaluated and against which the quality of

via internet) or offline (e.g. via telephone, postal or face-to-face).
