I've been writing all of the required procedures and forms for our QMS to be compliant with ISO/IEC 17025. Document Control is very much like ISO 9001 so this is a generic question..... We will be using Document Change Request (DCR) forms for requesting and tracking changes to existing documents. We will also use DCRs for new documents. If someone sees the need for a new procedure, etc. they would initiate a DCR.
So here's the query... It is obvious that I have to create these new procedures in order to establish our documented QMS. But the chicken and egg question is .. do I need to create a DCR for each of these? If you say yes, then would you respond differently if I were to put the effective date of our Document Control procedure (that outlines the DCR requirement) as AFTER the creation of the other procedures? yeah, pretty sneaky huh? But seriously, I will create all these DCRs if I have to, but would really rather save the time and trouble if they are not truly needed.
Opinions please?
