Deliberation No. 11/2004 of 19 February 2004: "Technical Rules for Copying and Preserving Electronic Documents on Digital Media which are Suitable to Guarantee Authentic Copies"
CA Recognizes that preservation of authentic electronic records means preservation of authentic/true copies. Thus the preservation process is called substitute preservation, and the authenticity of a preserved document is not established on the object itself (as it was with traditional media), but through the authority of the preserver (and possibly a notary), who would attest to the identity and integrity of the whole of the reproduced documents every time a migration occurs. The preserver's task list is also noteworthy. Archival units description stands out as an essential activity (not replaceable by the metadata which are associated to each single document) in order to maintain intellectual control over holdings.

DC CNIPA (Centro Nazionale per l'Informatica nella Pubblica Amministrazione) replaced AIPA (Autorita' per l'Informatica nella Pubblica Amministrazione) in 2003. Such an Authority (established in 1993 according to art. 4 of the Legislative Decree 39/1993, as amended by art. 176 of the Legislative Decree 196/2003) operates as a branch of the Council of Ministers' Presidency with the mandate to put the Ministry for Innovation and Technologies' policies into practice. In particular, CNIPA is responsible for bringing about reforms relevant to PA's modernization, the spread of e-government and the development of nationwide networks to foster better communication among public offices and between citizens and the State. In the Italian juridical system, CNIPA's deliberations have a lower enabling power, but they nevertheless are part of the State's body of laws. The technical rules provided in CNIPA's deliberation 11/2004 derive from art. 6, par. 2 of the DPR 445/2000, which says: "Preservation obligations are fully satisfied, both for administrative and probative purposes, also with the use of digital media when the employed procedures comply with the technical rules provided by AIPA." In order to keep those rules up to date according to the latest technology, AIPA's deliberation no. 42 of 13 December 2001 on "Technical rules for documents reproduction and preservation on digital media that are suitable to guarantee true copies of the original documents" has been replaced by the current CNIPA deliberation.
