The legal register details legislation that an organisation must comply with due to its activities. The purpose of the register is to assist your company in complying with its legal obligations, therefore maximising the likelihood of the company's management, staff and contractors complying with the law.You can easily tailor these to match your organisation or add new acts of legislation.
The guidance includes choosing different acts from our extensive list, giving you a complete register and information of compliance to these legislative acts.
Why you need to define Statutory and Regulatory Requirements for your ISO Management System (MS)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organisation:
needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the practical application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
All the requirements of this International Standard are generic. They are intended to apply to organisations, regardless of their type or size or the products and services.
How ISOvA MS software helps you determine your statutory and regulatory requirements
The Legal register list template includes a list of standard Acts, which you can easily tailor to match your organisation.
Legal Register on the ISOvA IMS Toolbox
The First step in this process is to choose the correct view from the Toolbox. In the box below highlighted, please select the standard that you require from the drop-down box. This will then automatically bring up legislation relevant to the chosen standard. Please be aware that different businesses have different legal obligations. This register needs to be reviewed by the organisation and add business-specific legislation to this register.
Legal Register on the ISOvA IMS Toolbox
The headings below match the columns provided in your IMS Toolbox:
Title
These are the Legislative Acts titles, some of which you are aware of. The title itself may remind you that it is relevant to your organisation, such as:
Data Protection Act 2018 / GDPR Regulations
Employment Rights Act 1996
Question
If the title of the legislative act does not help you make your choice, then the Question column will help your decision, such as:
Do you employ people? yes = Employment Right Act 1996
Applicable
From deciding on either the title or question, you will then choose from the following drop-down selection:
Yes
No
Under review
This will then communicate to interested parties your obligation and commitment to statutory and regulatory regulations.
Evidence of Compliance
This area is to communicate with you the requirements that are needed to comply with this act. Failure to do so could raise potential issues from a Standard perspective and a legal one.
Interested Parties
This section of the legal register communicates with the persons that are involved in this legal requirement. This is a multiple selection process based upon ISOvA choice. If these need to change then, please contact your Virtual Assistant.
