    If Org modifies their Context with new objectives and mission, which are the mandatory Documents or records it should reflect besides other requirement to be compliant with ISO 9001:2008 requirements.
    From my experience
    1. Content in Quality Policy document and relevant reference - Quality Document
    2. Business Strategic Plans defining new Objectives and alignment to Company's Context. (What, When, How)
    3. Reference in Management Review Outputs - Quality Document
    4. Communication to all staff on the new objectives, Individual roles and their performance to align with Org vision. ( Staff KPIs)
    5. Sources for the need of Changes required in Org Context (e.g as a result of analysis, evaluation of last year achievement, customer complaints/ expectation, csat, internal Process measurements, strategic requirement, internal Audit, other external / internal issues) - Monitoring, Measurement and Analysis - Quality documentation.

    Thanks in advance.

    It's going to depend upon the nature of the modifications as well as other factors. I can't see a clear answer to your question, in any case, since there are zero "mandatory" documents these days - it's all dependent upon what YOUR organization determines is required. Clearly, management review is a core requirement where much of what you describe would be on the table for discussion, so records of that and actions/changes arising is "mandatory" in that respect...

    I'm with Andy. Nothing in ISO 9001, either 2008 or 2015, requires your objectives and mission changes to affect "mandatory documents or records".

    Despite that, if a QMS is useful, any significant high level changes should trigger a cascade of other changes through many documents in the system, even perhaps only sparing them "6 documented procedures".
