Naming the manual for integrated management system

This year we have planned to merge the QMS and ISMS for our organization as per the new revisions made to 9001 standards. As per the changes, ISO 9001 says that we are not supposed to mention anywhere as QMS manual. So my question would be, we have QMS and ISMS main manual separately for the organization. If we are combining that, then what should the manual be called as?

Answer:

ISO 9001:2015 does not say that you cannot mention Quality Manual, the standard only doesn't require it any more. The fact that the manual is not a mandatory document any more doesn't mean that it is forbidden, so you can keep using the manual but you need to update it to fit new version of the standard. For more information, see: The future of the Quality Manual in ISO 9001:2015 https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/the-future-of-the-quality-manual-in-iso-90012015/

If you decide to merge manuals for ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, you should call it In tegratd Management System Manual or IMS Manual. For more information, see: How to integrate ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 https://advisera.com/9001academy/blog/2016/09/27/how-to-integrate-iso-9001-and-iso-27001/
