The MoReq specification describes model requirements for the management of electronic records and focuses mainly on functional requirements for electronic records management systems (ERMS). MoReq contains a model of how filing plans, files and records relate to each other within the context of a classification scheme, and, very importantly, it can be applicable to both electronic (digital), physical (paper), and hybrid files.
 
MoReq was designed to be a very practical specification. It does not specify a particular ERMS, instead it outlines the essential elements an ERMS should have to ensure that records are properly managed, can be accessed at all times, are retained for as long as they are needed and are properly disposed of once the obligatory retention and disposition period has expired. An organisation which implements an ERMS based on the requirements of MoReq can be assured that its records will be properly managed.

MoReq defines the core functionality required of ERMS whether they are deployed in public bodies, private organisations, and the third sector.  MoReq is a generic, modular specification which means that each organisation that uses it can incorporate into its records management policies those parts of the specification that are relevant and applicable to the type of organisation; and help the organisation to comply to regulatory requirements within its business sector.
