2.7

Prepare a Revision History

The revision history provides a history of the procedure and specifies its effective date.

Although the revision history may be initiated at this point in developing a procedure, it

cannot be completed until the procedure is approved.

[1]

Include the following information in the revision history:

C Revision level

C Effective date

C Affected pages

C Revision description.

EXAMPLE 2-2. Revision description.

Revision 2 was done to reflect the equipment changes made to the chilled water supply system.

[2]

Provide a specific statement of the reason for the revision. Generalizations, such

as general revision, do not provide meaningful information.

[3]

List the procedure(s) that the new procedure replaces or requirements that the

procedure implements.

[4]

If the number of the procedure changes, cite the old number in the revision history

to provide appropriate history and cross referencing.

[5]

Add the approval date to the description of the revision for use in tracking periodic

reviews.

[6]

Include any temporary changes implemented since the last revision.

[7]

Maintain and update the procedure basis documentation to ensure that a complete

history of the procedure is available each time the procedure is revised.
