ISO 9001 Paper procedures

Yes, you are right. Please check ISO 9001:2015 clause 7.5.3.2 a). Organizations should have a way of controlling distribution of, or access to, relevant quality management system documents. If documents are on paper, I recommend using a matrix that relates document identification, version, location and who has access to it. If documents are on a digital support, I still recommend the use of a matrix to relate document identification, version, and who has access to it. This is critical to ensure that paper documents are updated whenever there is a change in version and that people is informed of the change (for paper and digital documents).
