Control of Documented Information: Documenting Plans

The revised version of ISO 9001:2015 requirements sometimes are confusing, especially regarding the 'documented information'.

What is documented information? What documented information is mandatory to keep - and what is optional?


New article by JP Russell and Denis J. Devos 'An ISO 9001:2015 Catch 22: Documenting Pans' explores this topic focusing on clause 6.1.2 requirements - plans to address risks and opportunities.

On one hand a plan is not classified as documented information and moreover the organization determines what documented information they need to maintain. On the other, when an organization documents their plans, an auditor expects the plans to be controlled and maintained as documented information and be available in some form or media. So the organization could be subject to plans being audited against documented information controls.
