Another question regarding document control.

Statement of intent says: The company shall ensure that documented procedures are established and maintained to control all documents.

3.7.1 (issue 3) All documents in use shall be properly authorised and be the current version.

Our company uses 4 papers per product:
-1 instructions for tooling
-1 instructions for palletisation
-1 order document that goes to production and when finnisched returns to transport, so they know the order is ready.
-1 specific instructions for quality and safety

Do the above mentioned documents need a version number?
At the moment, the last two are freshly printed with the ordernumber (unique number) printed on them. The first two are each time the same with just the article number.

I asume that, like BRC food all 4 need a version number or is that not needed?

If these docs are classified as 'forms' then they should all come under your document control procedure. By forms I mean a pre-printed page where specific information/instruction is added. Forms should be 'controlled' for changes to the pre-printed text/layout/design.

Your instructions for tooling, palletisation, quality & safety are specific procedures and must definetly be 'controlled' as per the standard.
