External documents control

"We have already been awarded ISO 9001 in 2017, however in order to keep this we are being assessed again, therefore, we need to know if there are any new legislation updates that we need to be aware of. We run a small research and development engineering business.”

Yes, ISO 9001:2015 clause 7.5.3.2 mention documents of external origin, like standards and legislation, that are relevant to the quality management system (QMS). Does your organization belong to any business association? Some business associations perform that service of legislation surveillance. Some lawyer societies also perform that service. Or your QMS can have someone with the responsibility to checking any changes in legislation every X month.
