When I worked for a major airplane manufacturer in Seattle, we boiled the ISO writing process down to this:

Pick a worker at random. Ask them, "What are you doing?" "How do you do it?" "How do you know how to do it?"

If the worker can show a document verifying the last question, then you are ISO compliant. (Note: I did NOT say ISO certified, but that's a long story...)
