Your organization must develop and document a procedure to control quality documents. Your procedure must ensure that you:
- Approve documents before you distribute them.
- Provide the correct version of documents at points of use.
- Review and re-approve documents whenever you update them.
- Specify the current revision status of your documents.
- Identify changes that are made to documents.
- Preserve the usability of your quality documents.
- Preserve the identity of your documents.
- Preserve the readability of your documents.
- Monitor documents that come from external sources.
- Identify documents that come from the outside.
- Control the distribution of these external documents.
- Prevent the accidental use of obsolete documents.
- Identify obsolete documents that have been retained.
But HOW you do this is entirely up to you!
