How the document reached stage 50.00
The table is the ISO life-cycle record, in order. The rows after stage 50.00 carry no date on the public record, so this page does not invent one.

Why the planning date is 18 February 2027
The public record shows stage 50.00 dated 15 July 2026 and no date for stage 50.20 or for publication. ISO has announced no publication date. We use 18 February 2027, 120 days from the record date of 22 October 2026, as a planning date and label it everywhere as our arithmetic.
That is a planning device, not a promise. If the ballot returns comments, the date moves. If publication runs long, the date moves. The change watch exists because the date is the one fact most likely to move. The decision to adopt, watch or decline the profile is the organization's, and it should be recorded with the reason.
The body, the clauses and the annex
The ISO page does not publish the FDIS body. This site therefore cannot state a clause number, a clause heading or a quotation. It does not. What it states instead is the public record and the practices a VSE can put in place, each labelled by its basis and cited to the public record or the published structure of the series.
When the published edition appears, the register is re-baselined against it. Kit buyers receive the reissued files at no extra charge, and the watch sends the stage change.
