Clear authorization of a single manual (2001,Dec,3w)
I invented for small organizations a single quality manual that includes all management procedures that ISO9001 requires. But in Japan some certification bodies have rejected the document as non-conformity.
Last week a friend of mine sent to me revised ISO/TR10013 and I found following sentences.
"A small organization may find it appropriate to include the description of its entire quality management system within a single manual, including all the documented procedures required ISO9001."
The certification bodies have lost their faces.
