Re: Originating and Approving Procedures
Coury, I agree.
Perhaps I wasn't clear with my response.
You are right that there are no such stipulations. However I (personally) would question the effectiveness of a QM System that allows this to happen (same author/approver)
To the OP: I hear what you are saying about ‘over-kill’ with review and approval sign-offs. It is down to your organisation to determine what documentation requires this level of review. This will be determined by the importance of the document, technical content and probability of error (e.g. check-box forms may be considered out of scope of your review process).
I will stand by my original post though, when I recommend that the documentation example you gave in the OP be written, reviewed and/or approved by more than one member.
This just makes sound QM sense and adds strength to your QMS.
