BSI PD0010 - Good Practice

This document gives details of five "Principles of Good Practice for Information Management". It was developed by a consortium of organisations in 1993, with an objective of achieving a position where an imaged document is treated in law as equivalent to the typed, printed or hand written paper document.

Principles of Good Practice for Information Management

This publication defines the five principles as:

• Recognise and understand all types of information;
• Understand the legal issues and execute "duty of care" responsibilities;
• Identify and specify business processes and procedures;
• Identify enabling technologies to support business processes and procedures;
• Monitor and audit business processes and procedures.

These five principles have been used as the basis for the structure and layout of all 3 parts of BIP 0008.
