Effective Records Management.

Effective Records Management. Part 4: How to comply with BS ISO 15489-1
Philip Jones and Robert McLean

This new publication explains the requirements of BS ISO 15489-1:2001 and the range of options available so that an appropriate level of compliance can be selected. It suggests approaches that can be adopted to build a portfolio of evidence, which demonstrates compliance to the degree that is required.

The authors have included tips on how to implement some of the standard’s requirements, based on their combined 50 years of professional knowledge. There are sample forms with guidance notes for completion to help make the workbook clear and easy to use.
