CEN/TC 468 - Management and preservation of digital content
Standardization of the functional and technical aspects of the preservation of digital information. In this field, the committee will develop a structured set of standards, specifications and reports, addressing business requirements, including compliance with the European legislative and regulatory framework (e.g. GDPR, eIDAS). This includes the following issues: - Maintenance of characteristics (integrity, authenticity, reliability, usability etc.) of digital information during its life cycle; - Design, implementation and management of preservation systems processes (availability, confidentiality, etc.); - Audit and quality control procedures for the preservation of digital information; - Interoperability and information exchange between systems and services; - Procedures and processes supporting legal admissibility. The committee will not develop any document that overlaps or substitutes published international or European standards, such as those developed by ISO/TC 46, ISO/TC171, ISO/TC20/SC13, and ETSI. It will liaise with these committees to avoid any overlapping in the future. Products in the scope of CEN/TC 457 “Digital preservation of cinematographic works” are excluded from the scope.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This NWI Will be a TS and will specify additional requirements for qualified or not qualified trust services implementing electronic archiving service with specific regard to :
• Functional requirements to use for receipt, storage, retrieval and deletion to ensure that the electronic data and electronic documents (electronically-born documents and paper documents that have been scanned and digitized) are preserved in such a way that they are accessible and durably safeguarded against loss and unauthorized alteration or disposal, except for authorized changes concerning their electronic format.
• Procedures and technologies ensuring the accuracy of the origin, the durability and legibility, integrity of the electronic data and electronic documents beyond the technological validity period and at least throughout the legal or contractual preservation period, while maintaining their integrity and their origin.
• Procedures and technologies to use to allow authorised relying parties to receive a report in an automated manner that confirms that an electronic data and electronic documents retrieved from a qualified electronic archive enjoys the presumption of integrity of the data and electronic documents from the beginning of the preservation period to the moment of retrieval.
• Procedures and technologies to prevent unauthorized access and improper use of the confidential and restricted data and electronic documents.
• Interactions between electronic archiving trust services and other trust services.
• Procedures and technologies to reach and obtain a green sustainability approach when possible.
