ISO 9001 Clause 8.5.1 f
May i know if there are more practical examples for this clause? I have other views stating that this clause is referring to special processes which i don't really understand.

As far as I remember the wording of “special processes” come from the intial ISO 9001:1987 version. Imagine a manufacturing process where welding takes place, or where a sterilization process takes place. Is it possible to test welding quality? Is it possible to test sterilization effectiveness? Yes. Is it economically sound to do it every time? Normally, no. But organizations want to be sure that welding, sterilization, heat treatment, painting, and other activities are correctly performed. So, they have to validate process conditions and train people to be competent in performing the activities.
