Answer:
As long as there are no legal requirements, and as long as there are no customer requirements, for example on contracts, organizations are free to determine the retention time for their records.

Normally, in these cases, I advise keeping records for 3 or 4 years, to assure that records generated during a certification cycle will be available.

The following material will provide you information about retaining records:
