Glenn has already mentioned the State of New South Wales.

In fact, most Australian States and Territories, as well as the
Commonwealth Government mandate the use ISO 15489.

The National Archives of Australia has developed (in conjunction with
State Records of NSW) "DIRKS: A strategic approach to managing business
information" which is compliant with ISO 15489. More information is
available at http://www.naa.gov.au/recordkeeping/dirks/summary.html or
on the websites of the various State Records regulators (list available
at http://www.archivenet.gov.au/archives.html).

Interesting that this post on adoption of the standard in the context of
university records management appeared yesterday.

I am also researching the extent and success of adoption of ISO 15489.
ISO 15489 is, I believe, well known among information management
practitioners in Canada.  I am less certain that any public or private
institutions, here or elsewhere, have formally adopted it as the basis
of their records management policy framework and program.

The standard has been available now for more than five years. I would be
grateful to hear from anyone who has grounded their policy suite and
program on ISO 15489, or has at least attempted it.  I have reviewed the
listserv archives and am aware of at least some of the past discussion.
On- or off-line, as you wish.

Thank you.
