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

records management
field of management responsible for the efficient and systematic control of the creation, receipt,

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

5.5.1 Design records shall not be disposed without the written approval from the Customer, and from
the appropriate regulatory authority if applicable.
5.5.2 At the end of the stipulated retention period, the archived documents and data records shall be
assessed by the originator to determine if it requires re-archiving or alternative disposal.
5.5.3 Records that are potentially subject of, or relevant to, pending litigation or litigation which is
reasonably anticipated, shall not be disposed until obtaining approval from the legal department, and
from the document owner (if the owner is different from the organization).
5.5.4 Security classification of records shall be taken into account when determining the disposal
method (e.g. incineration, shredding).
NOTE At the end of the product life cycle, with the agreement of the appropriate authority or customer,
consideration should also be given to the transfer of records: for safe and secure storage; to cultural heritage
centres (e.g. national/local museums) where applicable.
5.5.5 Where needed, evidence of the records disposal shall be ensured.

Documents and Data Records Retention Matrix
The matrix is organized by sections of the standard AS/EN/SJAC 9100.
Unless otherwise specified, the recommended retention periods commence at the end of the current
month of completion or withdrawal/deletion of the records.
NOTE 1 All periods stated are minimum periods. It is permissible to keep the records longer than stated.
NOTE 2 Procedures and instructions related to control of product conformity (for example: inspection,
inspector qualification, calibration…) may be retained for a longer period (e.g. LOP or more) in order to be used if
necessary to show evidence of the good management of the product conformity control at the time they were in
application.
