Home › Why it is different
There is no shortage of ISO templates for sale. Four things are different here, and they all come from the same place: these were written by someone who audits systems for a living.
Not a summary. The actual questions an assessor puts about that document, and what to put in front of them. You will not find this in a template bundle, because template bundles are not written by people who have sat in the assessor’s chair.
Certification does not make you legally compliant, and the two are routinely confused. The statutory duties are mapped next to the clauses so neither is being satisfied by accident.
Every document carries a phase number in its header, from appoint through to learn. If you are lost, look at the header of whatever is in front of you and you know where you are.
Where a document must be produced by a competent specialist, such as a fire risk assessment, asbestos survey, legionella or health surveillance, the toolkit says so, explains how to commission one, and tells you how to judge whether what you were handed is any good. Selling you a template for those would be worse than selling you nothing.
