∞A controlled document is a document which,
if changed, effects some part of
the process or product. These can be
procedures, process documents, product or part
drawings (prints) or other similar
documents. Forms are typically controlled documents.
•Typically there will be one or more list(s) of master documents.
•If a controlled document is changed, a record of the
change has to be made. This means there must
be a History of All Changes.
•If a document is changed, people who use it must know about the change. This means there has to be a
distribution list or other effective
way to let everyone who uses it know the document
has changed (read Communicate the changes).
•Every employee must know how to check to see if documentation they are using is the most current version.
