ISO procedures and forms - ready to implement

The choice depends on your organization's size and the ISO standard you're implementing:

• QMS Bundle 1 (15 procedures): Perfect for small businesses (under 30 employees) implementing ISO 9001 with straightforward processes
• QMS Bundle 2 (24 procedures): Ideal for larger organizations (30+ employees) or those with complex operations requiring more detailed process control
• EMS Bundle (15 procedures): For businesses implementing ISO 14001 environmental management
• OHS Bundle (15 procedures): For ISO 45001 health and safety management systems
• EQMS Bundle (22 procedures): Integrates ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 - saves time managing both
• EHQMS Bundle (26 procedures): The complete integrated solution for ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001

If you're implementing multiple standards, the integrated bundles (EQMS or EHQMS) save 23-24% compared to buying individual bundles and eliminate duplication.

Our ISO procedure and form templates are designed to be 80-90% ready to use straight out of the box. You'll typically need to customize:

• Headers and footers: Add your company name, logo, and document control information (5-10 minutes per procedure)
• Company-specific details: Replace placeholder text with your specific processes, locations, or department names
• Process owners: Assign responsibility to specific roles or positions in your organization
• Forms: Add your branding and adjust fields to match your specific data collection needs

All templates are in fully editable .docx and .xlsx formats, so you can easily modify text, diagrams, process maps, and turtle diagrams using Microsoft Office or compatible software. Most customers complete customization within 1-2 weeks.

Procedures describe how to do something - they provide step-by-step instructions for completing a specific process. Our procedure templates include:

• Clear written instructions following the process flow
• Turtle diagrams showing inputs, outputs, activities, risks, and controls
• Process maps illustrating the sequence of activities
• References to related forms and documents

Forms are used to record that something has been done - they collect and document data. Our form templates help you:

• Capture required information systematically
• Create records for audit evidence
• Track activities, measurements, and decisions
• Demonstrate compliance with ISO requirements

Together, procedures tell you what to do, and forms provide evidence that you did it correctly.

Yes! Our procedure and forms templates are designed for maximum compatibility:

• File formats: .docx (Word) and .xlsx (Excel) work with Microsoft Office 2010 and newer
• Operating systems: Windows and Mac compatible
• Cloud platforms: Works with SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Dropbox, and other document management systems
• Alternative software: Compatible with LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and other Office-compatible applications

The turtle diagrams and process maps are created using grouped shapes and textboxes, making them easy to edit in any version of Word. You can also export them as PDFs for wider distribution or upload them to your quality management software.

Implementation time varies based on your organization's size and complexity, but our templates significantly accelerate the process:

• Customization phase: 1-2 weeks to tailor procedures to your specific operations
• Review and approval: 1-2 weeks for management and stakeholder review
• Staff training: 2-4 weeks to communicate procedures and train employees
• Implementation: 4-12 weeks to roll out procedures across the organization

Total timeline: Most organizations can fully implement their procedures within 2-4 months, compared to 6-12 months when building from scratch. You save 200+ hours of documentation development time.

If you need faster implementation, consider our complete packages which include implementation programmes and checklists to guide you step-by-step.

Turtle diagrams are visual tools that provide a comprehensive overview of each process. They're called "turtle diagrams" because the shape resembles a turtle when viewed from above. Each procedure includes a turtle diagram showing:

• Inputs: What goes into the process (materials, information, requirements)
• Outputs: What comes out (products, services, records)
• Activities: The key steps performed within the process
• Resources: Equipment, facilities, and people needed
• Measures: KPIs and metrics to monitor performance
• Risks: Potential issues and how they're controlled

Why they're valuable:

• Auditors love them - they provide instant clarity on how processes work
• Training new employees is faster with visual process overviews
• Process owners can quickly identify improvement opportunities
• Demonstrates process-based thinking required by ISO standards
