Full title and description

ISO 30302:2022/Amd 1:2025 — Information and documentation — Management systems for records — Guidelines for implementation — Amendment 1: Non conformities, corrective actions and climate change requirements. This is an amendment to ISO 30302:2022 that adds material addressing the handling of nonconformities and corrective actions within a management system for records (MSR) and introduces requirements/considerations related to climate change impacts on records and records management activities.

Abstract

This amendment provides targeted updates to the ISO 30302:2022 guidance used when designing, implementing and monitoring a management system for records (MSR). Key additions focus on: (1) clarifying identification and management of nonconformities related to records and MSR processes; (2) describing appropriate corrective-action processes and follow-up; and (3) introducing climate‑change–related requirements and considerations that affect records creation, retention, preservation and access. The amendment is intended to be used alongside ISO 30302:2022 and in support of ISO 30301.

Scope

The amendment applies to ISO 30302:2022 and is intended to supplement the existing guidance for implementing an MSR. It narrows in on procedures and responsibilities for identifying and managing nonconformities, defining and implementing corrective actions, and addressing climate change‑related risks and requirements that can affect records lifecycle activities (creation, capture, retention, preservation, access and disposal). The content is meant to be used by organizations implementing ISO 30301 and those responsible for MSR operation and improvement.

Key topics and requirements

• Identification and classification of nonconformities affecting records and records processes.
• Corrective-action procedures: root‑cause analysis, corrective planning, implementation, verification and management review.
• Integration of nonconformity and corrective‑action processes with the MSR and with ISO 30301 requirements.
• Considerations for climate change: risk assessment, business continuity and resilience measures for records (physical and digital), and adaptation of retention/preservation practices to climate and environmental risks.
• Responsibilities, documentation and monitoring to ensure continual improvement of the MSR in light of nonconformities and climate-related risks.

These topics update or clarify existing guidance in ISO 30302:2022 and are intended to support implementers in meeting MSR objectives.

Typical use and users

Primary users are records managers, information governance and compliance officers, auditors, consultants, and other professionals responsible for implementing, operating or auditing a management system for records (MSR). Organizations of all sizes and sectors that implement ISO 30301 will use this amendment to strengthen their processes for handling nonconformities, corrective actions and climate‑related risks to records.

Related standards

ISO 30302:2022/Amd 1:2025 is part of the ISO 30300 series for management systems for records and should be used with: ISO 30301 (requirements for MSR) and ISO 30300/30300-series core concepts and vocabulary. Implementers may also align corrective-action and risk-management elements with general MSS standards such as ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) where relevant.
