10、on.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legalobligations.BRITISH STANDARD BS 10008:2014 The British Standards Institution 2014 1IntroductionInformation is an organizational asset that needs to be managed throughout itslifecycle; it is frequently required to be used within a
11、nd outside the organizationfor demonstrating compliance and/or dispute resolution. If the authenticity orintegrity of the information cannot be trusted then conclusions based upon itcould be discredited. This British Standard addresses how information needs tobe managed by an organization, in an inf
12、ormation management system, toenable it to have strong evidential weight and be demonstrably trustworthywith regard to its authenticity and integrity whenever during its lifecycle it isneeded to be used whether for business, compliance, legal or other disputeresolution purposes.BSI has published a C
13、ode of Practice for Evidential Weight and LegalAdmissibility, BIP 0008 2, 3, 4 (formerly PD 0008) since 1996. This Code ofPractice has been widely adopted and is referenced, for example, by the LordChancellors Code of Practice on the management of records published underSection 46 of the Freedom of
14、Information Act 2000 5. In Scotland this is theCode of Practice on records management issued under Section 61 of theFreedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 6.BIP 0008 consists of the following three parts, which have been revised toprovide information and guidance for the implementation of variou
15、s sections ofthis British Standard: BIP 0008-1, Evidential weight and legal admissibility of informationstored electronically Code of practice for the implementation ofBS 10008; BIP 0008-2, Evidential weight and legal admissibility of informationtransferred electronically Code of practice for the im
16、plementation ofBS 10008; BIP 0008-3, Evidential weight and legal admissibility of linking electronicidentity to documents Code of practice for the implementation ofBS 10008.This British Standard covers the scope of all three parts of BIP 0008. Itspublication reflects the requests of the adopters of
17、BIP 0008 for a formalcompliance standard.The detailed guidance given in the latest edition of BIP 0008 will assist in thesuccessful implementation of this British Standard. The compliance workbook,BIP 0009 7, provides a tool that enables the demonstration of compliance withthis British Standard alon
18、g with the appropriate parts of BIP 0008.If an organizations electronic information management system conforms to thisBritish Standard, it is anticipated that the evidential weight of electronicinformation managed by the organization will be maximized, by ensuring itstrustworthiness and reliability.
19、 It is also anticipated that conformity with thisBritish Standard will minimize the risks involved with the long-term storage ofinformation in an electronic form.This revision of this British Standard has been structured along the lines of thestandardized structure of ISO Management System Standards
20、, as defined inISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, Annex SL 1 such that its implementation can bealigned and synchronized with other management system standards, such as thefollowing: BS EN ISO 9001, Quality management systems Requirements;BRITISH STANDARDBS 10008:20142 The British Standards Institution 201
21、4 BS ISO/IEC 27001, Information technology Security techniques Information security management systems Requirements; BS EN ISO 14001, Environmental management systems Requirements with guidance for use.BRITISH STANDARD BS 10008:2014 The British Standards Institution 2014 31 ScopeThis British Standar
22、d specifies requirements for the implementation andoperation of electronic information management systems, including the storageand transfer of information, with an objective of enabling the user to ensurethe authenticity and integrity of the information is maintained, so that it istrustworthy and i
23、s either accepted without dispute or successfully resistschallenge. These issues are important where the information might be used asevidence whether for business, compliance, legal or other dispute resolutionpurposes.This British Standard covers:a) the management of the availability of electronic i
24、nformation over time;b) the electronic transfer or communication of electronic information;c) the linking of electronic identity to particular electronic information,including the use of electronic signatures and electronic copyright systems,as well as the verification of electronic identity.This Br
25、itish Standard also includes requirements for the stewardship andaccountability of the management of information throughout its life cycle.The requirements specified in this British Standard are generic and intended tobe applicable to all organizations (or parts thereof), regardless of type, size an
26、dnature of business. The extent of application of these requirements depends onthe organizations operating environment and complexity.This British Standard applies to electronic information in any form, includinggeneral office documents, electronic images and information held in databasesand other e
27、lectronic systems. The information may be alphanumeric, imagebased and/or voice/video recordings.This British Standard does not cover processes used to evaluate the authenticityof information prior to it being captured or created in the system.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole
28、or in part, are normatively referenced in thisdocument and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, onlythe edition cited applies.
