ISO 9001:2015 7.5.3: Control of documented information

Documented information that the QMS and the standard call for is controlled so that it is on hand and fit for use wherever and whenever it is needed, and is adequately protected against loss of integrity, loss of confidentiality or misuse. The organization deals with: distribution, access, retrieval and use; storage and preservation, including keeping it legible; control of changes, including versions; and retention and disposition. Documented information from outside sources that the organization has judged necessary is identified and controlled, and documented information kept to evidence conformity is protected against unintended alteration.
