ISO 9000 Documentation Requirements

The video link is a less than 3 minute lesson on “How much documentation is enough documentation for ISO 9001 Certification?”

The key lesson here is that beyond the Quality Manual and the 6 minimum procedures required by ISO, the additional documentation is up to you.  The catch phrase is “Documentation comes down to meet what training and qualifications come up to.”  In other words, design your documentation to the needs of the qualified employee who will be doing the job.  Procedures are okay, but most employees will reference procedures only when they first start a job.

A better way can be to use flowcharts and other visuals along with the blank forms that are filled out for each task.

Keep it simple, keep it clear.
