1 Scope
1.1 General
This document provides requirements and guidance for the retention, storage, retrieval and disposal of
records for the international aviation, space and defense industry.
1.2 Applicability
1.2.1 This document is applicable to all documents and data records, on current and earlier products,
produced using current and previous business agreements and applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements.
1.2.2 Documents should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense to include all records, data and
information, in paper or in electronic form or on film, including external providers working on own
behalf.
1.2.3 Some documents may be retained electronically. The form in which documents are to be retained
varies from one jurisdiction to another and varies depending on the document involved. Some countries
prescribe that certain documents be retained in their original form as a hardcopy (e.g. board minutes,
documents under seal, trust documents and original documents that are subject to specific legal
requirements…).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 9000:2015 and the
following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

 IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
archive(s)
permanent records, records maintained for continuing use
Note 1 to entry: Archives can be a place where archival materials are preserved and made available for
consultation. This is also referred to as an archival repository.
Note 2 to entry: Archives can be an organization, agency or programme responsible for selecting, acquiring,
preserving and making available archives. This is sometimes referred to as an archival agency, archival institution,
or archival programme (ISO 30300).
3.2
archiving (electronic)
process of moving one or more electronic record extracts to off-line storage in a way that ensures the
possibility of restoring them to on-line storage when needed without loss of meaning. Wherever
possible, archived data should be technology-independent so that future users do not have
dependencies on obsolete technology from the past
[SOURCE: ISO 10781]
3.3
data integrity
property that data has not been altered or destroyed in an unauthorized manner
[SOURCE: ISO 7498-2:1989, 3.3.21]
3.4
digital signature
data appended to, or a cryptographic transformation of, a data unit that allows a recipient of the data
unit to prove the source and integrity of the data unit and protect against forgery, e.g. by the recipient
[SOURCE: ISO 7498-2:1989, 3.3.26]
3.5
life of product (LOP)
end of product operational life time, when the last product of a type has been withdrawn
3.6
records management
field of management responsible for the efficient and systematic control of the creation, receipt,
maintenance, use and disposition of records, including processes for capturing and maintaining
evidence of and information about business activities and transactions in the form of records
[SOURCE: ISO 15489-1:2016, 3.15]
Note 1 to entry: Also called recordkeeping.
3.7
retention
storage of data for reuse of a later date:
 aiming for data re-use and to keep data available;
 retaining any of the representations needed, but not the presentations;
 working over medium and short term;
 expecting invariance, though this is not mandatory;
 migration of the data format is allowed to guaranty data quality and interpretability (EN 9300-003)
4 Documents and Data Records to be Retained and Retention Periods
4.1 Records related to traceable products shall be kept not less than the operational life of the
applicable product (LOP).
NOTE At the level of an organization, the decision on traceable products may have an impact on the retention
period of the related documentation.
4.2 Annex A provides a matrix with recommended minimum retention duration and record examples
for the different types of documents and data as addressed in the aerospace standard
AS/EN/SJAC 9100.
NOTE Deviations of the retention duration (e.g. due to country-specific legal and/or regulatory
requirements) should be recorded in written statements or in the business agreements.
5 Means of retention
5.1 Recording media
5.1.1 Media (paper, film, magnetic etc.) used for recording shall allow the required duration for
retention under the conditions provided.
5.1.2 Retained documents and data records shall remain readable for the period of archiving, together
with due provision of any technological facility required (e.g. electronic readers, software,
computers etc.).
5.2 Electronic storage and archiving
NOTE The ISO/IEC 27000 standards series provides guidance to ensure the selection of adequate and
proportionate security controls that protect information assets and give confidence to interested parties.
5.2.1 In case of electronic storage of signed/stamped originals either scanning hence allowing to
restore the full original, a publically acceptable data transcription format and process shall be
employed.
NOTE Acceptable formats and processes are the ones providing from the digital sources paper documents,
which are identical to the originals.
5.2.2 If applicable, the organization shall ensure confirmation from local authority representative that
the proposed electronic recording media is acceptable.
5.2.3 When hardware and software changes take place, the transcription process shall be clearly
defined and controlled, in order to ensure that all necessary data continue to be accessible.
5.2.4 Back-up procedures shall be implemented for all electronic data held on computers, which are
under the scope of this standard.
5.2.5 Back-up copies shall be stored in a different location from that containing the working media
(e.g. discs, tapes etc.), in an environment that ensures they remain in good condition for retrieval.
5.3 Archiving and Retrieval Conditions
5.3.1 Documents and data records shall be maintained legible for the retention period.
5.3.2 The record keeping system shall ensure that all records are
a) accessible whenever needed within a reasonable time and
b) organized in a consistent way (e. g. chronological, alphabetical order etc.).
NOTE Organizations should clarify what is an acceptable time to access any stored record from the record
keeping system. Organizations should also clarify what is an acceptable way to organize documented information
and which are the criteria for retrieving information (e.g. keywords, etc.).
5.3.3 Documents and data records shall be stored
a) in a safe manner with regard to natural disasters (such e.g. fire, flood etc.) and
b) according to well documented conditions ensuring that they are readily retrievable and available
for secured and controlled access.
5.3.4 Access to archives shall be controlled to
a) prevent theft, negligence, malicious or fraudul
