Required manuals under ISO 9001

ISO 9001:2015 has no mandatory requirement for the existence of manual or procedures. It is up to each organization to decide if a manual is useful and what should be its content.

I recommend organizations to have a quality manual, but it is just a recommendation. Please check this article about mandatory documentation - List of mandatory documents required by ISO 9001:2015 - https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/list-of-mandatory-documents-required-by-iso-90012015/
