Adoption of externally acquired reference material
Hi, thanks for your commitment to ensure understand I stand the standard. However, I still have concerns about adoption of externally acquired reference material. the previous version was very clear about control of documents clause 4.2.3. How should that be handled with the current version?
In what manner should I align the input and output, interested parties and procedures?

There were no changes in requirements about external documents in the transition from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015. External documents relevant for the quality management system should be identified and controlled. Please see the penultimate paragraph of ISO 9001:2015 clause 7.5.3.2
Determining the relevant interested parties is the first step in determining what kind of external documents can be relevant for your quality management system.
