Document Scanning - The Law, Inland Revenue and HM Customs

The Current British Standard

BSI DISC PD0008 is the current British Standard document relating to 'Legal Admissibility and Evidential Weight of Information Stored Electronically'. It sets a benchmark for procedures that business should follow in order to achieve best practice, and therefore, legal admissibility of their electronic documents.

The document BIS DISC PD0008 is also referred to as BSI BIP008.

DCS have produced a free white paper legal admissibility of scanned documents giving further details on the legal admissibility of scanned documents and the British Standard BSI DISC PD0008, and in particular how this relates to the Civil Evidence Act 1995, the Inland Revenue and to HM Customs & Excise (VAT).

Contact DCS on 01753 616720 for further information regarding the legal status of scanned documents.
