Compliance obligations register for laws and permits

Features

What you do with Compliance obligations

All binding obligations

Laws and regulations, permits, customer requirements, industry or certification requirements and other binding obligations, per domain: from safety and quality to environment and food safety.

Applicability with justification

For each obligation you choose applicable, to be assessed or not applicable. Not applicable always requires a justification, so you can explain it during an audit.

Assessment history

Each assessment is a separate record with result, date, assessor and explanation. The outcome of the latest assessment is the current status.

Evidence from documents

Link documents from document management, add attachments or write a short evidence note. The file stays in document management, so version control keeps working.

Action straight away

When the result is partly compliant or not compliant, you create an action with owner and deadline from the assessment itself; for not compliant, as a high-priority CAPA.

Timely reminders

You set the assessment frequency per obligation. When the date approaches or passes, you get a notification and the obligation appears under assessment due.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Compliance obligations

How often should an obligation be assessed?

You set that per obligation. When the next assessment date passes, the obligation appears under assessment due and you get a notification.

Can health and safety and quality requirements go in the same register?

Yes. The register spans all domains: you choose the domain for each obligation and filter the overview by domain.

Does Not compliant create an action automatically?

Only if you switch that on in the assessment window. That way you decide whether follow-up is needed and who takes it on.

Is Not yet assessed the same as Not compliant?

No. Applicability, status and assessment planning are three separate attributes. An obligation without an assessment shows Not yet assessed, which is different from Not compliant.
