Transcript ISO 9001:2000 Documentation Requirements

ISO 9001:2000
Documentation
Requirements
Based on ISO/TC 176/SC 2
March 2001
ISO 9001:2000
Two of the Most Important
Objectives in the Revision of
the ISO 9000- Standard
• To develop a simplified set of standards that
will be equally applicable to small as well as
medium and large organizations
• For the amount and detail of documentation
required to be more relevant to the desired
results of the organization’s process activities
ISO 9001:2000
• Significantly reduces documentation
requirements
• Is much less prescriptive
• Allows more flexibility in choice of
documentation system
ISO 9001:2000
• Enables each organization to develop
the minimum amount of documentation
needed in order to demonstrate the
effective planning, operation and
control of its processes and the
implementation and continual
improvement of the effectiveness of its
quality management system
What Is a Document?
• Communication of information
• Evidence of conformity
• Knowledge sharing
Communication of
Information
• The type and extent of the documentation will
depend on the nature of the organization’s
products and processes
• The degree of formality of communication
systems
• The level of communication skills
• The organizational structure
Evidence of Conformity
• Provision of evidence that what was
planned has actually been done.
• Say what you do, do what you say and
prove it.
Knowledge Sharing
• In order to disseminate and preserve
the organization’s experiences.
• Example: a technical specification,
which can be used as a base for design
and development of a new product.

Quality Manual-Structure

Additional Documentation
There are several requirements of ISO
9001:2000 where an organization could
add value to its Quality Management
System and demonstrate conformity by
the preparation of other documents
Additional Documentation

• Approved suppliers lists
• Test and inspection plans
• Quality plans
Documented Procedures
• Controlled in accordance with Clause
4.2.3
• May combine the procedure for several
activities into one document
• May require more than one document
for a single procedure
• May require additional procedures in
order to implement an effective QMS
Records
• Requirements for control of records are
different from those for other documents
• All records have to be controlled in
accordance with the requirements of Clause
4.2.4

Preparing to Implement a
QMS
Process approach
• Identify the processes necessary for
effective implementation
• Understand interactions between these
processes
• Document the processes to assure
effective operation and control
Processes Include
•
•
•
•
Management
Resources
Product realization
Measurement
Process Analysis
• Should be driving force for defining
amount of documentation, taking into
account the requirements of ISO
9001:2000
• Should not be the documentation that
drives the processes
Demonstrating Conformity
With ISO 9001:2000
• May not need extensive documentation
• Must be able to provide objective
evidence of effectiveness of processes
and quality management system
Objective Evidence
• Data supporting the existence or verity of
something (Clause 3.8.1 of ISO 9000:2000)
• May be obtained through observation,
measurement, test or other means
• Does not necessarily depend on documented
procedures, records or other documents
except where specifically required by ISO
9001:2000
Objective Evidence
• Where the organization has no specific
procedure for a particular activity, and
this is not required by specification, it is
acceptable for this activity to be
conducted using as a basis the relevant
clause of ISO 9001:2000
• Example: Internal and external audits
