S.L. 546.3 Art. 5Record version control mechanisms.

(1) A public sector body responsible for an official register shall ensure transparency in its processes by establishing a record version control mechanism through which each change to the record details shall be retained and kept distinct but linked to an identifiable record, with timestamps indicating the start and end of each version of the record that is kept.

(2) The public sector body responsible for an official register subject to an obligation to link shall also enable the recording of additional information to be stored and used in regard to the processing referred to in sub-regulation (1). Where an entry in the person record is created or changed, the user and his authorized role for such process and other relevant information to enable a full audit trail of changes applied to official records shall be recorded:

Provided that version control records containing identifiable details of persons or associated to person identifiable data, shall be deleted after the expiry of the retention period as established for the pertinent person record.
