Storing too many documents
I have problem in storing huge amounts of hard copies of all which occupied huge spaces and containers , even at the escape routs we found a lot of stored documents. The question is: In the IMS is their any clause specifying the time of keeping different kinds of document and then get rid of them.

Answer:
The standards does not usually prescribe how long you need to keep the outdated documents and records, they only require organization to define retention and disposition of the documents. Usuall practice is to keep the documents and records for three years but this period can be shorter or longer.
