Use of structured templates

Answer:

There is nothing mandatory in the ISO 9001:2015 about documents having to follow a structured template. Normally every organization follows the practice of having work instructions, procedures or forms following a structured template. That transmits, order, planning, and frames a common visual look but it is not a mandatory requirement. Clause 7.5.2 b) requires that the template(s) used is/are adequate.
