Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Software Applications

The Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Software Applications, often referred to as the Design Criteria Standard, is a set of guidelines and requirements established to ensure that electronic records management systems (ERMS) effectively manage, preserve, and provide access to electronic records. These standards are typically developed by organizations such as the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in the United States or other relevant authorities to facilitate the management of records throughout their lifecycle, from creation through preservation and eventual disposition.
