Document control

Answer:

I assume that the Document Controller is the role in your company responsible for document control process. The Document Controller need to have all the documents that will ensure that the document and record control are effective in the organization. There is no explicit list of those documents but if you take a look at the standard you will see what is included in the control of documents or documented information as they are called in the new version of the standard.

The standard requires organization to define process of creating, updating, distribution, retrial and use of documents as well as control of changes and retention and disposition. Having in mind all the requirements, the Document Controller should have the procedure for document control, list of all documents and records with their codes and version numbers and distribution lists for every documented procedure. This is the minimum to have effective document control, in some cases it can be useful to have forms of all the documents used in the company but it can be overwhelming, depending on the organization size and complexity.
