Legal
Admissibility
BIP
0008:2004 (previously PD
0008) is issued by the BSI under the title the Code of Practice for
Legal Admissibility of Information Stored on Electronic Document
Management Systems. This document provides guidelines to those
responsible in an organizations for ensuring that as far as is
possible, electronic documents including scanned images will be
accepted as evidence by the courts.
The document
underlines that the
process under which documents are managed is as important as the
technology used – where a document is reproduced (e.g.
printed), it should accurately reproduce the contents of the
"original".
The code
stipulates that
organizations should produce their own Information Management Policy
Document and ensure that any organization to who they entrust their
vital information should also have a policy document.
