5.3 Data selection and security

  5.3.1 The minimum amount of data items to be recorded by the VDR is specified in 5.5. Optionally, additional items may be recorded provided that the requirements for the recording and storage of the specified selections are not compromised.

  5.3.2 The equipment should be so designed that, as far as is practical, it is not possible to manipulate the amount of data being recorded by the VDR, the data itself nor the data which has already been recorded. Any attempt to interfere with the integrity of the data or the recording should be recorded.

  5.3.3 The recording method should be such that each item of the recorded data is checked for integrity and an alarm given if a non-correctable error is detected.
