As a foreign product provider (ever even for CH manufacturers), it is not always clear why GeB\u00fcV(Business Records Ordinance<\/a>) compliance is a MUST in Switzerland when it comes to storing records.<\/p>\n

It would go too far to go into the history of the development, the individual contents and interpretations of the GeB\u00fcV here. As co-author of the GeB\u00fcV and author of the “critical” elements, it seems appropriate to me to make a few remarks on its significance in practice.<\/p>\n

These are the 5 main reasons why your product must be GeB\u00fcV compliant in Switzerland:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Although the GeB\u00fcV is a norm of commercial law, (Code of Obligations); almost all laws in Switzerland refer to it as a binding norm<\/strong> for the implementation of storage and archiving of data\/documents (see RM Guide<\/a>). Particularly noteworthy here is the FTA (Federal Tax Administration), which explicitly points out that receipts for input tax deduction must comply with the ElDI-V<\/a> ((Ordinance of the Federal Department of Finance on Electronic Data and Information)) as well as the GeB\u00fcV.<\/li>\n
  2. The GeB\u00fcV contents are used as the primary benchmark when assessing compliance<\/strong> and serve as a reference for legally compliant storage and archiving….<\/li>\n
  3. The quality of evidence of electronic data<\/strong> is measured by its conformity with the GeB\u00fcV<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. The GeB\u00fcV contains clear specifications for technical implementation.<\/strong> This is in contrast to most foreign laws, which do not have such provisions.<\/li>\n
  5. Many CH corporate officers (CEO, CFO, Legal) want an explicit compliance statement<\/strong>. Is your product GeB\u00fcV compatible?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a rule, foreign reports do not address the detailed requirements of the GeB\u00fcV<\/strong>. For example, there are usually no statements on the separation of data stocks (management vs. storage) or on safeguarding the integrity when using changeable storage media.<\/p>\n

    We will be happy to advise you and test your products for conformity<\/a> with Swiss laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
