DoCs, manuals, and other documents that are, or should be, controlled by the regulatory manager must be subject to a formal ECO system. If you publish any construction drawings, manuals, DoCs, test certs, etc, they should bear a revision and some type of control or reference number.
Do not allow the sales people to run this. In general, my employer makes these documents available on request for 'standard' models, but the sales person must only download from the document control system. Another thing I recently started was to put an expiration date on these documents. You never want to send a file where the bits have grown mold.

What are the pros and cons of publishing DoCs on the Internet off your company's website??? On the surface it seems like it would be a good idea; especially since the information on the DoCs can change from day to day. But I have found it to be extremely rare to find DoCs on the Internet. How come?? Do you think this will change in the future? I anticipate all replies.
