Quality Manual in ISO 9001:2015

I've recently been assigned the QA position and I've been asked for an updated QA manual for a suppliers review. We have a quality manual on file, but I'm not sure if it's up to date and includes all the items needed or if we are missing any import/beneficial items.

Answer:

New version of the standard doesn't require the manual, so you can write it any way you want. If it is requirement of the supplier, you can ask them what elements should the manual contain.

For example, in most cases the manual follows the structure of the standard and one of my clients had a supplier audit where they found as "nonconformity" that the manual only covers clauses but not sub-clauses of the standard, but this is minor issue and I'm sure even in such cases it wouldn't be a problem.
