Documented Information Matrix
Hello to all,
It is time for me to start giving back to elsmar forum because there was a time where I got all the resources I needed from this forum and made me succeed and get the company where I work certified to ISO 9001:2008 now we are transitioning to ISO 9001:2015. Thank you Elsmar!
This guidance document highlights changes in the requirements for documented information, and includes tables of documented information that should be retained and maintained.
The extent of the documented information will differ from your organization to another because of to the size of organization and its activities, processes, products and services; the complexity of processes and their interactions, and the competence of personnel.
In ISO 9001:2008, the quality manual helped to establish and document the framework of your organization's quality management system while articulating those aspects of the QMS to any interested parties.
While there is no requirement for a quality manual or documented procedures in ISO 9001:2015, it is suggested that if they add value, then they should not simply be binned. You will be expected to maintain the integrity of the QMS during the transition process.
You do not need to renumber your existing documentation to correspond to the new clauses. It is down to each organization to determine whether the benefits gained from renumbering will exceed the effort involved. Neither do you need to restructure your management system to follow the sequence of and titles of the requirements. Providing all of the requirements contained in ISO 9001:2015 are met, your organization’s quality management system will be compliant.
Please comment if this benefited you in some way, I have more material to share with you.
Thank you,
