Document and data control

I have translated a number of QA manuals and researched this.

"ISO 9001 4.5 - Document and data control
Develop procedures to control quality system documents and data.
Develop procedures to review, approve, and manage all of your quality system documents and data.
Develop procedures to control changes to documents and data."
http://www.connect.ab.ca/~praxiom/9001.htm

While I am always slightly wary of relying on numbers of Google hits, a well-constructed search can be instructive.

I have Google configured to search sites in English, French and Spanish only and it returns the following:

1520 hits for "document and data control" "ISO 9001"
51 hits for "document and data management" "ISO 9001"


Peer comment(s):

agree Sara Freitas : Yup, I also do lots of industrial quality. This is the ISO term. Sounds like this is what JL is talking about, unless the context is something radically different!

Thanks Sara
agree Oana Apetrei : "Control" is the term used in QA and standardized by ISO, but in a different context, "management" or "handling" are also used.

neutral Tom Bishop : The context is Quaity Assurance and the terminology employed in the relevant standards is readily available on the Internet. The term is a heading in at least one edition of ISO 9001.

data and document management

i would put it like that, but it is a tough cooky depending whether you are referring to "data control" in the checking process or to the overall process where you manage the data in order to reach a certain quality
