Format for procedures, instructions and forms

The reasons for establishing a standard format are:

• It is beneficial to the user who learns to look for information in set places.
  
  
• It acts as a check list for the person who prepares the procedure or instruction.
  
  
• It makes the use of different forms related to the Quality Management System more transparent and allows the use of cross references.
  
  
• To maintain the standard format and to minimize the hazard for requirements to be overlooked.
  
  
• To make clear the status of a current document (approval date and current version).
