This document is not applicable to information systems in which users have the ability to substitute or alter documents after capture.

This document is intended for the following users.

a) Organizations implementing information systems in which:

1. electronic documents created from scan captures are kept in an environment that ensures fidelity with regard to the original and long-term preservation;
2. digitally born documents are kept in an environment that ensures the content integrity of the information and document legibility;
