It outlines the principles and practices necessary for creating, maintaining, and disposing of records in an organization. The standard emphasizes the importance of records in supporting business operations, accountability, and compliance with legal requirements. The standard is divided into two parts: ISO 15489-1 focuses on the concepts and principles of records management, while ISO 15489-2 offers practical guidance for implementing these principles. By following ISO 15489, organizations can ensure that their records are reliable, accessible, and properly managed throughout their lifecycle.
