Control of Documented Information - ISO 9001

ISO 9001:2015 - QMS.7.5.3 - QP - Control of Documented Information

Our Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs document templates have been created by fully qualified and experienced professionals at Patient Guard, a Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Service provider. The templates have been specially written to ensure that they meet the basic requirements needed for each clause/section of the standard or regulation the templates relate to. We have carefully curated the templates to ensure they are easy to follow and adapt to make them specifically modified to your business needs. All the templates are fully editable Microsoft word documents allowing you to have complete control over the templates which can then be modified to suit your company branding/marketing requirements.

What is this template for?

• This template will help your organisation to define a document generation and change control process (through which an individual or organisation ensures that changes to a product or system are introduced in a controlled and coordinated manner) for documents within a certain scope, including but not limited to;
  • The control of major changes within your organisation,
  • Documents required for regulatory purposes/compliance,
  • Documents of external origin required for QMS purposes.
• Determines the responsibility for each activity within the scope of Document Control.
• Includes processes for the control of major changes within an organisation.

How will a Document Control Procedure benefit my organisation?

• Review and retention of documents:
  • Ease of navigation when reviewing documents annually or during management review meetings,
  • Increased organisation and standardisation throughout business documentation.
• Identification and control:
  • Identifying and locating documents in advance of and during external/internal audits,
  • Setting controlled access to approved users.
• Prevention and deterioration or loss of documents:
  • Archived folders to reference previous versions of documents,
  • Establishes effective backup systems to prevent catastrophic loss of documents.
