This document is applicable to any organization that wishes to:

— establish, implement, maintain and improve an MSR to support its business;

— ensure itself of conformity with its stated records policy;

— demonstrate conformity with this document by

1. undertaking a self-assessment and self-declaration, or
2. seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or
3. seeking certification of its MSR by an external party.
