ISO 9001:2015 – No Mandatory Procedure

ISO 9001:2015 – No Mandatory Procedure

What is required in ISO 9001:2008?
9001-2015The current version of ISO 9001 (which is ISO 9001:2008) requires organizations to have “documented procedures” for the following six activities:
Control of documents (4.2.3)
Control of records (4.2.4)
Internal audit (8.2.2)
Control of nonconforming product (8.3)
Corrective action (8.5.2)
Preventive action (8.5.3)

These are minimum required procedures and the organization may have more documents for their Quality Management System to function effectively.
What is proposed in recently released ISO 9001:2015 Committee Draft?
Recently released ISO 9001:2015 Committee Draft (CD) does not suggest any specific procedure to be developed. ISO has left that open for organizations to decide based on the context of the organization.
This gives more flexibility to the organization to decide.
