Ok. I will concede that Peter is correct. This would be a best practice. However, for us just about anything that comes from NARA, or a consensus of other states is considered by our folks as a standard. ;)
My point was that this is a process that is commonly used to determine retention periods (at least in state government records - having worked for 2 different states and know folks that work in others.) Keeping with the previously stated notion that unless there is some law or regulation that requires a retention period, it is the agency that determines what the retention period is.

bzzzzzz! sorry Mark. they are what one would call best practices. The term
"standard" is often misused when in actuality people are referring to
guidelines, best practices, generally accepted practices.
ISO 15489 is a standard
ARMA along with AIIM produce standards such as "Managing Electronic Messages
as Records" or "Vital Records" (currently undergoing revision/updating) To
learn more about ARMA's Standards Development Committee cruise on over to
www.arma.org and click on the Standards link. there you will see the various
standards and guidelines that are currently under development
