Approval of designs

Response:

According to ISO 9001:2015 the organization needs to conduct reviews, verification and validation to ensure that the results of design and development meet the necessary requirements. If the approver performs one of these activities then you require this role. If your company already conduct these three processes you don´t need the approver to release the drawings and comply with the standard requirements.
