The European Commission’s MoReq "Model Requirement for the Management of Electronic Records" published in 2001 which is widely used both in Europe and elsewhere has been updated and published this month as MoReq2.

MoReq2 provides an update of the current specification to take account of adoption of new technology and legislation and has been extended to cover related Content and Document technologies which have been widely adopted over the past few years. Also testing scripts have been provided which will be the base for the introduction of assessment centres for suppliers to submit their ERM software for evaluation.
