"Re-approve" is required, for example, after a document has been changed.

Hi Noli,

The re approval of the documents may ne necessitated due to internal audits, management reviews, change in process or change in requirements etc.

This one I know
Each time you revise a document, lets say you changes procedure in Work Instruction. When you rewrite it, you have to change revision number. So the new, revised Work Instruction has to be authorized, and signed-either electronically or if you have hard copy, in pen by the process owner. Only then you can put it in the system.
I hope I did not confuse you more

Also you should review critical procedures and process periodically to ensure they are current and accurate. i.e. I just finished an supplier audit and found document that had not been updated for seven years and the current process was different. So you should at least set up a certain time span to review procedures and processes critical to your quality system and products.

best regards,

I understand when a document is revised it needs to be re-approved, but does Clause 4.2.3(b) also mean I should be getting documents re-approved when the review takes place but an update was NOT necessary?

No. It's only to ensure that if changed, documents are (re) approved. It's not required or necessary (IMHO) to be reviewing documents regularly. In some cases - Regulated organizations - have that requirement, it's understood, but in the case of ISO 9001 there's no requirement, since audits should tell you if the document needs revision if not already found in the course of planned changes/improvement.

As per my practice, re-approve only require when there are many/major changes that alter the way of the normal operation, impact to workprocess, the SOP scope changed.:)
