Hi All,
Preface; I'm not a QS Manager or Quality Engineer, but have done a fair amount of research and self learning to push the organization I'm in towards getting ISO 13485 certification.
Can someone please tell me if a completed engineering drawing is handled as a record or a document?
My perspective on this was that;
1) A engineering drawing template is viewed as a form or document and therefore adheres to document control procedures
2) A completed engineering drawings for a part, assembly, ect. is viewed as a records and therefore should comply to an organizations record control procedures
I'm in discussions with someone that is more senior than myself and has a boatload of experience in med device design but also doesn't have a formal quality background either so our views differ on this and some clarification for us would be helpful.
Thanks!
