Internal and external records

Answer:

The organization needs to control internal and external documents related to the QMS. Regarding the internal documents, the organization needs to define distribution, access, retrieval and use, along with storage, preservation, control of changes and retention and disposition. As far as external documents are concerned, the organization needs to identify them and control them.

In ISO 9001:2015 there are no requirements for documenting the way of document control or to maintain any record about the document and record control.
