About
The standard sets out principles for establishing and managing a records management program in a public office.
Section 12 (2) of the State Records Act 1998 requires each public office to 'establish and maintain a records management program for the public office'. The purpose of this standard is to assist public offices to meet this obligation and to provide a benchmark against which a public office's compliance may be measured. The standard sets out five principles for establishing and maintaining a records management program. Each principle is explained and followed by minimum compliance requirements. Sources of further guidance and a list of compliance requirements are also provided.
This standard replaces Standard No. 2 Standard on records management programs (issued 10 February 1999). Standard No. 2 is available from https://www.opengov.nsw.gov.au/
This standard has been replaced by Standard No. 12 Standard on records management.
