Anyone Practicing Approval Signatures on Every Page of a Doc?

[Detailed]

I am confused as to whether or not approval signature(s) must be on every page of a document in an facility under ISO 13485 and 21 CFR. There is no requirement in either regulation but I know of someone whom said they mediated between FDA and a company - the company made approval signatures on every page. The issue of approval signatures here is in regard to issuance of a revised and new document. How do you handle approval signatures? Every page or on one area?

We sometimes do signatures and dates on every page of quite lengthy validations.

We're subject to both FDA and ISO 13485 supervision, though in practice only the latter auditors see such validations.

In our case, it is the format of the document that has the field for approval signature. As we stick with this format, the approval signature comes on every page. We are OK with this way.
