Document code for quality policy and objectives

Answer:

The standard requires documentation to be properly identified and this includes title, date, author and reference or coding number. This is the straightforward requirement of ISO 9001:2015, clause 7.5.2a) so it cannot be avoided even in case of Quality Policy and Quality Objectives.

Since Quality Policy is often public document, it doesn't have to have the coding on the version that is available publicly but the version used internally must have the coding on it, the objectives are purely internal document so they also must have the coding on them.
