Document control procedure -not a requirement but a recommendation

I feel there is something unclear or conflict. If it will control QMS and it is best practice, why ISO 9001:2015 dose not state it in the requirements

Answer:

You are correct, the standard no longer requires documented procedure for document or record control. The reason for that is simple, small companies wont have a burden of having too many documents and procedures because they don't need some complicated procedure for documents and records control while the companies that need such procedure will create it regardless of the fact that it is not required.

The requirements for managing documents (publishing, updating, withdrawal, etc.) remains pretty much the same, they only doesn't have to be documented, but it doesn't mean that they sho uldn't be.
