ISO 30301:2011 specifies requirements to be met by a management system for records (MSR) in order to support an organization in the achievement of its mandate, mission, strategy and goals. It addresses the development and implementation of a records policy and objectives and gives information on measuring and monitoring performance.
ISO 30301:2011 can be implemented with other Management System Standards (MSS). It is especially useful to demonstrate compliance with the documentation and records requirements of other MSS.
ISO 30301 certification is a third-party audit performed by a certification body who, upon verification that an organization is in compliance with the requirements of ISO 30301, will issue an ISO 30301 certificate. This certification is then maintained through regularly scheduled annual surveillance audits by the registrar, with re-certification of the Quality Management System performed on a tri-annual basis.
