Re: Control of Master Lists
chascoffin said:
Hello, putting a QMS system together, ISO 9001 compliant, and have a question. I currently have a document master list and a records master list as part of the document control and record control procedures. As such, an addition to either list drives a revision change to the related procedure. Wondering if I can remove them from the procedures, document the templates as forms and control them. The procedures would then reference the lists, I would consider the lists to be documents of convenience controlled only by the date/title, no revision/change records. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I almost got lost in your post, but I think I made it out OK

It looks like maybe your're overcomplicating things.
Why would you want to revise your
procedure when the list is augmented? The procedure (the document) should tell what the list is, what in the quality manual it is related to, how the list is maintained, etc. It shouldn't need to be revised every time there's a new document.
Next, Why would you want a master list of records? All you need to do is describe how records are controlled (what a record should look like, where they're kept, when they're disposed of, etc.) You can control forms, or not, depending on whether or not the
contents of the forms needs to be controlled.
