What does unintended use mean in ISO system documentation

In ISO system documentation, unintended use refers to a situation in which an organization or individual uses a product, service, or process in a way that is inconsistent with, or does not meet the requirements of, the purpose for which it was originally intended or designed. This type of use may lead to problems such as degraded product performance, safety hazards, and customer complaints.

For example, in an ISO 9001 quality management system document, unintended use may include the following:

1. the product or service is used in an unapproved field or application, such as an electronic product being used in a medical device;

2. the product or service is used in an environment for which it is not suited, for example, in a hostile environment with high temperatures, high pressures, and high humidity;

3. the product or service is used in an environment that is not suitable for the purpose for which it was designed or designed;

4. The product or service is used in an unsuitable environment, such as in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, high humidity, etc.

3. The product or service is used for an unsuitable group of users, such as children using toys that are not suitable for their age;

4. The product or service is used for a purpose that exceeds the scope of its design requirements or useful life, such as when an electrical product is damaged by prolonged and excessive use.

Unintended use may cause economic loss, legal liability, and other adverse consequences to the organization, so the organization should strengthen controls in all aspects of design, production, sales, and service to ensure that the intended use of the product or service meets the requirements.
