TSE ISO/TR 15489-2

TSE ISO/TR 15489-2 is a technical report that provides guidance for applying ISO 15489-1 in records management. It is aimed at records management professionals and others responsible for records management within their organisations, offering a practical framework for putting the core principles of records control into use.

Guidance for putting records management into practice

The document focuses on a methodology for implementing ISO 15489-1 in any organisation that needs records management. In general technical terms, records management deals with the creation, organisation, protection, retrieval, and controlled handling of records so they can support business activity and accountability. The emphasis here is on the management approach, rather than on a specific record type or a single operational workflow.

Factors and processes organisations should consider

According to its scope, the report provides an overall view of the factors and processes that should be considered by organisations seeking conformity with ISO 15489-1. In broader records practice, this means aligning records requirements with organisational structure, business processes, information flow, and assigned responsibilities. That makes records management not just a storage activity, but a disciplined way of handling organisational information assets.

This listing represents a withdrawn edition, but it remains useful for understanding the records management concepts, the logic of implementation, and the purpose of the ISO 15489 family.
