The CD-ROM contains a documentation model and documentation development tool, implementation plan and schedule, quality manual, 45 operating procedures and work instructions, 28 control forms, master lists. The included detailed checklist of requirements of ISO 9001:2008 can be used for the assessment, development and review of documentation and procedures.

Based on the principle "one picture is worth a thousand words", this quality system model documents a complete quality management system of a distributor of chemicals, with business activities including purchasing, marketing, sales and distribution of chemicals. The documentation model, which can easily be modified to fit an organization's specific needs, can be used by any chemicals distributor as an example or guidance for preparing the required documentation and procedures for an ISO 9001:2008 quality management system. The manual is structured according to the clauses of the standard ISO 9001:2008, references procedures and processes, defines the interaction of processes and responsibilities, outlines the company's quality policy and how activities which affect quality are performed. Operating procedures and work instructions describe activities of the departments of Environment and Safety, Purchasing, Sales/Customer Service, Quality System Administration and Warehouse. Important issues of the chemicals industry are addressed, such as Material Safety Data Sheets, Certificates of Analysis, Product Shelf Life, Emergency Response Plan, Dangerous-Product Incidents, Responsible Distribution, etc.

According to the standard ISO 9001:2008, only 6 procedures must be documented, and it is up to the discretion of the organization to document other procedures contained in this quality system model or just to implement these procedures in order to meet requirements and create evidence of compliance.
