Hi all,
Normally we printed out Form from Master Copy to use and there is no any chop on it, however an auditor commented that the FORM that use in production area all should be chopped or printed with "Controlled Document" on the bottom of the form.
Hi guys, wondering Is it necessary or compliant?
Hi Carine,
Not too sure what "chopped" means ?
With respect to "Controlled Documents" I daresay you can find 2 "extreme" interpretations/responses to your query -
(1) - Some Companies make all their issued documents "Controlled" by Stamping or "footering" as such. This avoids your received criticism.
(2) - Some Companies have a footer on all their issued documents stating something like - Documents when printed are Uncontrolled.
(3) - Some Companies go in-between (1,2) and make some Documents controlled.
All the above options are supportable via appropriate, customised, Documentation Control Systems however you should familiarise yourself with the additional, consequential requirements before choosing. Personally, IMEX (1) is convenient but may involve significant effort if a lot of documents exist.
