Find standard requirements and create organisation-owned obligations.
For the relationship between a standard's published controls, requirement records and your organisation's operating controls, see standards, requirements and controls.
Find the requirement
Product location: /reqms/requirements
Open Requirements, then Requirement Explorer. Filter by standard or source, scope, criticality and coverage. The default scope is in-scope requirements; clear or change filters when investigating a missing entry.
Enable a standard in QMS to see its requirements. Customer, vendor, internal and other sources allow organisation-owned requirements without selecting a standard.
Create or clone
Product location: /reqms/requirements
Select New requirement, choose its source and enter its code and text. Add a clause reference, category, criticality, description, examples and verification guidance as appropriate. Record scope status and a justification for exclusions.
The source is fixed after creation. A clause reference is a display label; navigation uses the requirement code. Codes must be unique within the applicable scope.
System requirements are read-only. Clone creates an editable organisation-owned copy; it does not alter the original requirement. Review the new copy's identity before mapping documents to it.
Retire deliberately
Product location: /reqms/requirements
Deactivate removes a requirement from scope, coverage and gap statistics while retaining its document mappings. Reactivation can restore those associations. Do not use deactivation merely to make a coverage measure look complete; record the actual reason the obligation no longer applies.
