Purchasing & Supplier Control · Combined (Q/EMS)
One procedure for ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2026
A combined quality and environmental purchasing procedure has to satisfy ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2026 at once. This template does it in one document, written as a filled-in worked example rather than a hollow outline, so every decision is already made and visible for you to adapt.
ISO 9001:2015 Clause 8.4.2 b) asks for two determinations — the controls on the provider and the controls on the output — and most procedures record one. ISO 14001 Clause 8.1 adds a second trap: it requires provision to be controlled or influenced, and because control is unavailable for most environmental aspects, the influence half is the larger part of the obligation and the part left undefined. This template records both, as a pair, in one place.
ISO 9001 Clause 8.4.2 a) keeps outsourced processes inside the quality system; ISO 14001 adds the life-cycle perspective to what you require of providers. Both are carried explicitly, with the interface defined in both directions.
Organizations running — or moving toward — a combined quality and environmental management system, who want one purchasing procedure that satisfies both. If you also hold ISO 45001, the integrated (IMS) variant is the better fit.
One integrated procedure, written as a completed worked example — in editable Word, ready to adopt into your own document control.
