Documents created only in an electronic form and signed electronically and certified copies of paper-based records can be stored the same way, in a dedicated archiving system, separated from all other documents used in daily work. The electronic archive of certified documents has to ensure appropriate protection for the data files representing the documents, it has to monitor the validity of the timestamps of timestamped electronic documents and to automatically overstamp them until the end of the retention period set forth by law.
Documents having probative value also at court.
Physical record storage becomes unnecessary.
