I do not know where in the standard it states you have to have a quality plan. It depends on which standard you are referring to. If you are speaking of ISO 9001:2000, I believe there is no requirement for quality plans but there is a requirement for quality planning.
ISO 9000:2000 defines Quality Plans, see 3.7.5. Also, on page 25 of ISO 9000:2000 there is a diagram showing the relationship of the different types of documents including quality plans. Read page 20 first to understand how to read the diagram.
Finally, ISO 10005 was a published quideline for quality plans. Obtaining a copy of this guideline may help you also.
