Procedure MS-6 - Preventive Action [Implements requirements in ISO 41001:2018, Section 10.3 and ISO 55001:2014, Section 10.2]

NOTE

Additionally, internal audits can be done against the procedures, rather than against the standard(s).

Procedure MS-5 - Management Review must be customised, according to the nature and operation of your business, and according to which standards your management system must be certified.

Procedure IS-9 - Change Control - NO EXAMPLE; SEE THE NOTE BELOW.

NOTE

Procedure IS-9 - Change Control implements ISO 27001, Control A.12.1.2 - Change management. This particular control does not itself specify a requirement for a procedure. However, it is the second of four controls of the group A.12.1 - Operational procedures and responsibilities. The first control of this group is A.12.1.1 - Documented operating procedures, which specifies “Operating procedures shall be documented and made available to all users who need them”. Consequently, it is a good idea to implement A.12.1.2 as (part of) a procedure.

Procedure IS-9 - Change Control must be customised, according to the nature and operation of your business.
