The forthcoming ISO/TR 24332, which explores the intersection of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) with authoritative records, records systems, and records management, has achieved a significant milestone. The report is now in the final production stage (Stage 60.00), signaling its imminent publication within the next seven weeks.
This status marks a critical step forward, as the Technical Report transitions from development to formal release, underscoring its importance in addressing the challenges and opportunities of integrating blockchain technology with records management principles.
Collaborative Efforts
The development of ISO/TR 24332 has been a collaborative effort led by two ISO committees:
- ISO/TC 46/SC 11 – Archives/Records Management
- ISO/TC 307 – Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
Together, these committees have worked to ensure the report bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and the foundational principles of records management, providing actionable guidance for maintaining the integrity, authenticity, and trustworthiness of authoritative records in decentralized systems.
What to Expect
This 1st Edition of ISO/TR 24332 will deliver:
- Insights into the implications of blockchain for authoritative records and their preservation.
- Best practices for integrating DLT into records systems.
- Guidance on maintaining trustworthiness and reliability in digital and decentralized environments.
The publication of ISO/TR 24332 will serve as a cornerstone for professionals seeking to adapt their records management strategies to the evolving technological landscape.
