I am not sure why you would want to limit height to boxes. If the records
are in properly designed record file boxes, and not the cheap Staples kind,
there is no reason to put that limitation on a record center. Our boxes can
easily be stacked 6 high if needed. That being said, most record centers
only stack 3 high. Most of our racks are designed that way, but we do have
some that we stack some 4 high and 4 deep if we know they are strictly
archival and not subject to much handling.

Subject: [RM] Query re: Standards for Hard Copy records
I have been tasked in identifying any records management related
requirements that apply to hard copy records that indicate a standard
should be specified.
Some examples include:
limit box stacking to no more then 3 boxes high to prevent contents from
being crushed
fire and flood control devices installed
security access control
Inventory
Indexing
Does anyone know of any list of standards that apply specifically to
Creation, Distribution and Use, Storage, Disposal and
Archive/Preservation for HARD COPY RECORDS?
I realize some are generic and apply to electronic and non-electronic -
however I am looking for standards relating specially to non-electronic.
Thank you in advance
Melissa
