Risk & Opportunity Management
The new clause 6.1.2 Risk & Opportunity. Do we need to list all the opportunities that arose from the risks listed even though the risk severity is low?

Short and straight answer: No!
Let us support our answer. First go to clause 6.1.1 and note that the standard focuses attention only on the risks and opportunities that deserve to be addressed. So, your classification of risk severity low means that they don’t need to be addressed. ISO 9001:2015 does not mandates a register with all the risks and opportunities determined. Nevertheless, that is a good practice. Recording all risks and opportunities and acting only on those that you consider significant.
