I can understand it have to be identified with document number, revision and latest issue date but not with my name!!! But tell me please where in the standard it is written?!Which clause? Clause 7.5.2 says title, date, author or reference number

Answer:

You are right, there is no explicit requirements to write author name anywhere in the document, not only on the first page. The first page of our documents do require name of the author but if you don't want this, you can delete that row from the table. The reason why we included it in the document is because it is very common to have such information in the procedure but, again, it is not a requirement of the standard thus can be deleted.
