Master Document List
Controlled index of every document in the pack with ID, title, type, clauses and status.
Purpose
The Master Document List is the controlled index of every document in the pack as issued by ValiTrac (version 2.0, 2026-09-13). On adoption, the Laboratory transfers this list into FRM-01 Master Document Register, adds its own revision numbers, approvers, effective dates and review dates, and thereafter maintains FRM-01 as the live register. This list is retained as the record of what was received.

Before you use it
- Replace every square-bracket token, starting with [LABORATORY NAME], [ADDRESS] and [EFFECTIVE DATE]. The full token list is in GD-01 Read Me First.
- Have the content technically reviewed against how your laboratory actually works, then approved by the responsible manager before it becomes a controlled document.
- Update the Word fields after editing so the table of contents and page numbers are correct: select all, then press F9.
- Record the document in your own document register and set its review date.
