Do we need to treat local law as external origin documents ?
Thanks john for the response....Rajan,
If within the scope of your system then yes.
Such documented information needs to be monitored for changes ready for timely updates to your organization’s management system.

Somashekar, if laws refer to land, registration, taxes, security of buildings, do also need control as external documents? Even if they are not related to the product?Hi Rajan.
Welcome to the COVE.
Are these local law directly about the product / service that your QMS is connected with, OR you are referring about the other local laws of the land governing establishment license, registration, clearances, taxes, consents and such other.
See John Bloomfield's reply in this thread.Somashekar, if laws refer to land, registration, taxes, security of buildings, do also need control as external documents? Even if they are not related to the product?
Thanks
Hello JimSee John Bloomfield's reply in this thread.
Assuming the business gets caught in instances of non-compliance, they are normally financially fined. And, if they are repeat offenders, the punishment might include revocation of the permits, incarceration of responsible personnel, etc...In some cases, the legal proceedings can take years and in some countries, inspectors can be bribed....What happens if we don´t comply with local goverment regulations, land, taxes, anti fire systems?
