What is ISO 21041:2018?

ISO 21041:2018 focuses on price transparency in the retail sector, ensuring that all pricing information provided to customers is accurate, accessible, and comprehensible. It includes guidelines on:

  1. Total price communication,
  2. Optional or variable charges,
  3. Currency display,
  4. Taxes, fees, and surcharges,
  5. Price changes and refund conditions.

By certifying to this standard, organizations demonstrate that they follow globally recognized practices in price-related disclosures.

Why is ISO 21041:2018 important?

With increasing consumer awareness and regulatory oversight, price transparency is no longer optional—it’s essential. Misleading or unclear pricing damages brand credibility and can lead to penalties, reputational loss, or loss of customer trust. ISO 21041 certification is designed to protect consumers and empower businesses to operate with integrity and clarity in their pricing policies.
