What is the standard date format as required by ISO?

I suggest your organization make a notice that your date format adheres to ISO 8601 when you use it. It may require a work instruction throughout your organization (including setting defaults on word processors) to get uniform compliance.

Johnny,

Now all you have to do is get your suppliers in line with the standard.
Agreed - in theory, you just make it a requirement all dates are in prescribed format on any documents sent from supplier. In practice, another thing entirely!:rolleyes:
