Control Documents
The document control system should have a master document in which there is only
one copy of this document. Specify the location of the master document. Ensure that
no one can tamper with the master copy.
The master may be digital, hardcopy or a combination of both. Keep the masters in
the same location. If the master copy is digital, you could store the files in a directory
titled “Master Documentation”. If the master is a hard copy, you could stamp the
document with “Master”. The master copy must be readily identifiable as the master.
Maintain a master document list which can be easily accessed as necessary. This list
must show the document number, document name, latest revision letter, and origin
date of the document.
