Quality manual and ISO 9001:2015

"In ISO 9001:2008 we had a Quality manual in which we can mention the Formats we maintain for a particular record. But in ISO 9001: 2015 since NO quality manual then where to mention the Formats / Records we maintain?"

Answer:

Two things:
First, just because ISO 9001: 2015 no longer requires the existence of a quality manual does not mean that its existence is not allowed. All the companies I have worked with have maintained the quality manual despite the transition to ISO 9001: 2015. You can keep your quality manual after updating it.
Second, you can create a Formats/Records register, a kind of master list of all Formats/Records in use in your organization

The following material will provide you information about the quality manual:
