— fidelity to the original and data integrity;

— interoperability, i.e. independence from creation applications, information systems and rendition platforms;

— compliance with relevant laws and regulations;

— compliance with format specifications;

— reducing costs by reducing the number of conversions/migrations over time.

This document is applicable to all office activities (e.g. text processing, spreadsheets, presentations), email and static web pages, as well as all types of electronic components, including images, video and sound.

It does not apply to database formats.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
