Hi Butterfly,
how are?
Hope to be useful with my post. This is my idea and would like to share with all Covers that could add other experiences and thoughts.
As per your question, this is a clear point to be dealt with in your control document procedure.
ISO does not state How, but only What , so each organization can organize to meet the clause, demonstrating that the process in plkace is efficient and effective.
To manage external documents ( and in particular external drawings you asked for) , for example, the managers who are in charge of receiving customer provided documents and other documents of external origin could establish effective control systems to ensure changes are received by the organization , recorded and implemented in accordance with external requirements established with Customer .
In the absence of such defined requirements , you could implement a process defined in your document control procedure.
For example, each responsible manager will establish and maintain an electronic or hard copy external document change control log, utilizing a certain format. The log will identify the new/revised external document received, date received, person/function to whom it was sent, and date the change was fully implemented. N
New/changed external documents are usually issued/reissued in their whole content and obsolete/replaced documents removed from points of use and destroy or placed in archives. The responsible manager will determine, document and communicate to affected personnel/functions other applicable instructions. Where appropriate, the responsible manager will determine the need for and coordinate the provision of training needed to effectively communicate/implement any changes.
This is only a suggestion, but it could be ok based upon my experiences.
In case of ISO TS certification, you have also to manage engineering specification changes.
Hope this helps
