Documenting clauses 4 and 5 without Quality Manual

If no quality manual is required by 2015 version, then where should we define clause 4, 5 ( all sub clauses). where should we define the non applicability of clause 8.3?

Answer:

Clauses 4 and 5 do not have so many requirements for documentation. If the organization doesn't have the need to document them above the requirements of the standard, it can only create document about the scope of the QMS (Quality Management System) where it will define the scope and the exclusions and Quality Policy which is the only requirement for documentation in clause 5.

Also, the fact that the manual is no longer a mandatory document doesn't mean that it is forbidden. If the organization finds it useful for its QMS, it can keep it as a part of the documentation.
