Please provide your input to the following question:

I am reviewing my Master List of Records (ISO 9k2k) in preparation for an audit, while reviewing the mandatory 8.2.4 record required to be in the list I am a bit uncertain as to how to address the fields entries in the master list of records for this record mainly: “Location/Custodian, Filing Method, Retention Time and Disposition” since inspection and testing is done in various product realization departments how is this typically entered and handled to be input in the list of records out there in the field? What info typically should go under each column heading? Can you provide a couple of examples or a sample Master List of Records?

Thanks,

Julio,


since inspection and testing is done in various product realization departments

Are all of these departments in one place? Under one roof? Do all of the records have the same name? If all of these records are similar but produced in different areas, why not add the areas name to the beginning or end of the record.

Location/Custodian, Filing Method, Retention Time and Disposition
Area 1 / BOB / Numerical Order / 1 year / Shread
Area 2 / Charlie / Numerical Order / 1 Year / Shread
Area 3 / Ralph / Numerical order / 1 Year / Shread

In essence the 3 example records above are the same one, but now have different name and are "stored" in different places.

Hope I understood you right, or all of what I said above is a bunch o hogwash.... :notme:
