Introduction
This document has been developed to assist users to apply the management system for records
requirements of ISO 30301. ISO 30301 specifies the requirements for a management system for records
(MSR) where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to create and control information created,
received and maintained as evidence and as an asset by an organization, in pursuit of legal obligations
or in the course of conducting business.
The purpose of this document is to provide practical guidance on how to implement a management
system for records (MSR) within an organization in accordance with ISO 30301. This document covers
what is needed to establish and maintain an MSR. This document does not modify and/or reduce the
requirements specified in ISO 30301. An activity or documenting an activity is considered mandatory
only when it is required in ISO 30301.
The implementation of an MSR is generally executed as a project. An MSR can be implemented in
organizations with existing records systems or programmes to review and improve the management
of those systems or programmes or in organizations planning to implement a systematic and verifiable
approach to records creation and control for the first time. Guidance described in this document can
be used in both situations. An MSR can be an advisable option for addressing legal or technological
uncertainty in some cases.
It is assumed that organizations that decide to implement an MSR have made a preliminary assessment of
their existing records and records systems and have identified risks to be addressed and opportunities
for major improvements. For example, the decision to implement an MSR can be taken as a risk-
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
reduction measure for undertaking a major information technology platform change or outsourcing
business processes identified as high risk. Alternatively, the MSR can provide a standardized
(standards.iteh.ai)
management framework for major improvements such as integrating records processes with specific
business processes or improving control and management of records of online transactions or business
use of social media.
ISO 30302:2022
The use of this document is necessarily flexible. It depends on the size, nature and complexity of the
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/8389547b-bbb6-4b7f-ad17-a4e8a23b895f/iso-
organization and the level of maturity of the MSR, if one is already in place. Each organization's context
and complexity are unique and its specific30302-2022
contextual requirements will drive the MSR implementation.
Smaller organizations will find that the activities described in this document can be simplified. Large or
complex organizations can find that a layered management system is needed to implement and manage
the activities in this document effectively.
Guidance in this document follows the same structure as ISO 30301, describing the activities to be
undertaken to meet the requirements of ISO 30301 and how to document those activities.
Clause 4 deals with how to perform the context analysis needed to implement an MSR. From this
analysis, the scope of the MSR is defined and the relationship between implementing an MSR and other
management systems is identified.
Clause 5 explains leadership and how to gain the commitment of top management. The commitment is
expressed in a records policy and the assignment of responsibilities and authorities.
Clause 6 deals with planning the implementation of the MSR and adopting records objectives, which is
informed by high-level risk analysis, the contextual analysis (see Clause 4), and the resources available
(see Clause 7).
Clause 7 outlines the support needed for the MSR, such as resources, competence, awareness,
communication, and documented information.
Clause 8 deals with defining or reviewing and planning the operational level. It includes the analysis
to determine records to be created (see 8.2) and the design and implementation of records processes,
controls and systems. It draws on the contextual requirements and scope (see Clause 4) and is based on
the records policy (see 5.2), the risk analysis (see 6.1) and resources needed (see 7.1) to meet the records
objectives (see 6.2) in the planned implementation. Clause 8 explains how to implement requirements
in ISO 30301:2019, Annex A.
Clauses 9 and 10 deal with performance evaluation and improvement against planning, objectives and
requirements defined in ISO 30301.
For each of the Clauses 4 to 10 of ISO 30301:2019, this document provides the following:
a) the activities necessary to meet the requirements of ISO 30301 – activities can be done sequentially,
while some will need to be done simultaneously;
b) inputs to the activities – these are the starting points and can be outputs from previous activities;
c) outputs of the activities – these are the results or deliverables, with special mention to mandatory
documented information, on completion of the activities.
The concepts of how to design the operational records processes are based on the principles established
by ISO 15489-1. Other documents developed by ISO/TC 46/SC 11 are the principal tools for designing,
implementing, monitoring and improving records processes, controls and systems, and can be used in
conjunction with this document for implementing the detailed operational elements of the MSR.
Organizations that have already implemented ISO 15489-1 can use this document to develop an
organizational infrastructure for managing records under the systematic and verifiable approach of
the MSR.
1 Scope
This document gives guidance for the implementation of an MSR in accordance with ISO 30301.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 30301. It describes the activities to be
undertaken when designing, implementing and monitoring an MSR.
This document is intended to be used by any organization, or across organizations, implementing an
MSR. It is applicable to all types of organization (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, non-
profit organizations) of all sizes. This document is intended to be used by those responsible for leading
the implementation and maintenance of the MSR. It can also help top management in making decisions
on the establishment, scope and implementation of management systems in their organization.

4.1.1 General
The context of the organization should determine and drive the implementation and improvement of
an MSR. The requirements of this clause are intended to ensure the organization has considered its
context and needs as part of the implementation of an MSR. The first part of this analysis is to determine
internal and external issues relevant to the purpose of the MSR and how they affect its ability to achieve
the intended outcome.
The contextual analysis can be used to define the scope of the MSR (see 4.3). However, if the top
management determines the scope of the MSR as the starting point, before identifying contextual
issues, then the extent of the contextual analysis is defined by the scope.
Contextual information should be from a reliable source that is accurate, up-to-date and complete.
Regular review of the sources of this information ensures the accuracy and reliability of the contextual
analysis.
Examples of important issues in identifying how the external context affects the MSR are:
a) how the complexity of the organization’s structure, business and legislative environment will affect
records policy, processes, systems and controls;
b) how a competitive market affects the need to demonstrate efficient processes.
Examples of internal issues effecting the MSR are:
1) how laws, regulations, policies, standards and codes affect the design of records processes, systems
and controls;
2) how the skills and competencies within the organization can affect the need for training or external
assistance;
3) how the organizational culture can affect compliance with the requirements of the MSR;
4) how the information technology infrastructure and information architecture can affect the
availability of records systems or records;
5) how rules already implemented can affect the design of the MSR; and

Records requirements
(standards.iteh.ai)
Based on the analysis described in 4.1.1 as the starting point, the business needs for records and the
requirements for their creation, capture and management are assessed in relation to the business
functions. ISO 30301 requires documenting
ISO both business needs and records requirements.
30302:2022
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/8389547b-bbb6-4b7f-ad17-a4e8a23b895f/iso-
NOTE This MSS approach for context analysis and identification of requirements is compatible with the
analysis process (appraisal) proposed by ISO 15489-1 and ISO/TR 21946, which also includes elements of
30302-2022
planning (see Clause 6) and identification of the needs for records (see 8.2).
The records requirements affecting the business operation can be business, legal, regulatory or other
requirements.
Identifying business requirements should take the following into account:
a) the nature of the activities of the organization (e.g. mining, finance, public services, manufacturing,
pharmaceutical, personal services or community services);
b) the particular form or ownership of the organization (e.g. a trust, company, non-profit or
government organization);
c) the particular sector to which the organization belongs (i.e. public or private sector, non-profit);
d) the jurisdiction(s) in which the organization operates;
e) planning of future accomplishments and development of business; and
f) risk management and continuity planning.
Examples of business needs for records are as follows:
— requirements to create records to execute or complete specific processes (including web-based
transactions, as well as, but not restricted to, business transaction in emerging technologies such as
social media, mobile computing and cloud computing);
— requirements to create records for financial/operational reporting and control;
Output
There is no specific requirement to document the requirements in this clause because the requirements
for documentation of the management system are explicitly identified in the other clauses of this
document.
The main output of this clause is the management system for records fulfilling the requirements of
ISO 30301.
