Implementing QMS with non-mandatory documents

You can use nonmandatory required documents for your QMS, but you must use the mandatory required documents.

Using more or less nonmandatory documents in a QMS should be a function of the QMS complexity and people experience and competence. Please check ISO 9001:2015 clause 4.4.2.
