Documenting clause 5

Answer:

Requirements of the new clause 5 doesn't differ much from the clause 5 in the previous version of the standard when it comes to documentation. There is no requirement to make any document other than Quality Policy. Most of the requirements, such as leadership and commitment, roles, responsibilities and authorities do not require documenting a procedure and can be meet indirectly through other actions.

For example, the top management will demonstrate leadership and commitment by participating in determining the context and risks and opportunities, setting the objectives,etc. On the other hand, although the roles and responsibilities are not required to be documented, they usually are through other procedures such as procedure for production, sales procedure, etc where you define who do es what.
