Noark5

Noark is a Norwegian national standard for electronic records management and archiving which began its history in 1984. The latest major version of the standard, Noark 5, is based on the EU standard MoReq. Even though there are many similarities between the two, Noark 5 is more pragmatic than MoReq in certain areas where MoReq follows core archival principles more strictly.
