Documenting scope without quality manual

Answer:

The quality manual is no longer mandatory according to ISO 9001:20015, if you decide not to have such document any more, you can create the document that only defines the scope of your Quality Management System. Here is the free preview of our Scope of Quality Management System https://advisera.com/9001academy/documentation/scope-of-quality-management-system/

The key processes and procedures are no longer explicitly required to be documented. The new version of the standard requires organization to determine the sequence and interaction of the processes and to document them to the extent necessary to have confidence that the processes are being carried out as planned. This means that you don't have to document everything, only the processes and activities that are critical and can have nonconformities.

That is the reason why we deci ded to keep the Quality Manual as a part of our documentation toolkit, although it is not a mandatory document, it provides a framework for fulfilling lot of different requirements in one single document.
