Assessing various systems, I realized that what seemed to be a simple task of creating a quality or environmental management system manual and documenting a company’s commitment to a particular standard can create significant difficulties for businesses of various sizes, in diverse industries, in different countries. Simply speaking, during my career in the registration business, I have not yet seen a manual during an initial review that addressed all the requirements of applicable standards.
