Controlled Documents. ISO 9001 §7.5. Structurally Enforced.

The ISO 9001 Controlled Document Register gives you a PostgreSQL-backed controlled document system where every document has a version, a review date, an owner, and a documented approval record. ISO 9001 §7.5 requirements are met structurally — not by assertion.

The Problem This Solves
Most manufacturers hold controlled documents in SharePoint or network drives with no formal version control, no review triggers, and no approval audit trail. During ISO 9001 audits, they cannot demonstrate that the documents in use are the current approved versions.
Regulatory Basis
ISO 9001:2015, §7.5
ISO 9001 §7.5 requires documented information to be available for use where and when it is needed, in a suitable format, and adequately protected. Changes and revisions must be controlled.

🗄️
documents table
Core table: document_id, title, document_type, category, current_version, owner_id, status (draft/active/obsolete), review_period_months, next_review_date, approved_by, approved_at.
📚
document_versions table
Full version history: version_id, document_id, version_number, change_summary, change_type (major/minor), content_reference, created_by, approved_by, effective_from.
Approval Workflow
n8n workflow routes documents for approval: author submits → quality manager reviews → approval/rejection decision recorded immutably → author notified → version incremented on approval.
Review Trigger Automation
Documents approaching review date trigger an email to the document owner 30 days and 7 days before the review deadline. Overdue documents are escalated to the Quality Manager.
📊
vw_document_status
Live view: every document with current version, status, last review date, next review date, days until review, and overdue flag. Filterable by category and owner.
🔍
Document Currency Check
On-demand query confirms the current approved version of any document — critical for audit evidence that the correct version was in use at a given date.

Built to Run. Not to Demo.

Every UNUS London mini solution is a production system — not a prototype. The schema runs on PostgreSQL 17.4 with full referential integrity, Row-Level Security, and an immutable audit trail from day one. The n8n workflow handles every user interaction end-to-end.

The evidence view below is representative of the live data structure you will have in your system. Every record shown reflects the actual column names, data types, and status logic in the deployed schema.
