Answer:

ISO 9001:2015 doesn´t state or require anything on how organizations should name the different documents, so then it will be up to the company how to do it. As you mention in your consultation, usually companies use the following documentation structure:
- level 1 - Quality Manual
- level 2 - Quality Policy
- level 3 - Procedures
- level 4 - Instructions
- level 5 - Records
