Australia

AS ISO 15489
Records Management

Standards Australia have published two Australian Standards on Records Management.

AS ISO 15489.1 Records Management - Part 1: General
AS ISO 15489.2 Records Management - Part 2: Guidelines

The standards are an Australian codification of the International Standard on Records Management, ISO 15489, approved in October 2001, representing international best practice for recordkeeping.

These documents replace Australian Standard, AS 4390-1996: Records Management. They are, however, based on AS 4390 and so there is significant continuity between the standards.

The standard is endorsed by the National Archives of Australia (NAA) who promote it as a model for best practice recordkeeping throughout Commonwealth Government departments.
