Overview
What this RAVS document does
Where a company designs or develops a product, the quality management system has to control that work. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor states whether design and development applies, and if so, controls the design inputs, outputs, review, verification, and changes.
This document states your company's design and development position in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: permissible exclusions and mitigation, the justification, design and development, the development of new products, the customization of existing designs, and design change control. It is written to a quality management standard. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a design and development answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A clear statement of whether design and development applies
- A justification where design and development is excluded
- Communication between personnel involved in design and development
- Design and development outputs that meet statutory requirements
- A phased product development process with review points
- Engineering change management to control design changes

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the design and development element as part of an ISNetworld quality management verification. It applies to companies whose hiring clients expect a documented quality management system alongside their safety program, whether or not the company performs design work. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags this element, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the design and development review the first time
- State whether the clause applies. The document states clearly whether the company performs design and development, and provides a justification where it is excluded. A reviewer expects that statement.
- Control new product development. The document states a phased product development process defines design inputs, outputs, review, verification, and validation. A reviewer expects that process.
- Manage design changes. The document states an engineering change management process controls all design changes with a change impact assessment. A reviewer expects that change control.
