Legal Register Template
The Legal Register is a Word template for summarising the legislation that applies to your organisation and how you comply with it. Legislation is grouped under clear headings, each with a reference, a description and a compliance column, alongside the standards, codes of practice and guidelines you work to.
It can be included in section 1.6 Legal Compliance of the IMS1 manual or referenced from there, and supports the legal and other requirements of the ISO management system standards.
What's Included in this Register
- Reviewed By and Date Reviewed - a header row to record who reviewed the register and when
- Relevant Standards / Industry Codes of Practice / Guidelines - each standard or code you work to, with how it is met
- Pertinent Company Legislation - reference, description and compliance for legislation that applies to the business as a whole
- Pertinent Legislation - Equipment - legislation covering the equipment you use and maintain
- Pertinent Health & Safety Legislation - health and safety legislation that applies to your activities
- Pertinent Environmental Legislation - environmental legislation that applies to your activities and sites
- Pertinent Information Security Legislation - legislation covering information and personal data
Built for Legal Compliance in ISO Management Systems
- Gives a written summary of applicable legislation that can sit in the IMS1 manual or alongside it
- Records how each requirement is met, which supports the evaluation of compliance
- Keeps standards and codes of practice in the same document as legislation
- Gives a dated record of each review of the register
Who Needs a Legal Register?
Every ISO management system standard expects an organisation to know which legal requirements apply to it and to show how they are met. This register suits organisations that want a readable summary in Word, for the manual or to share at audit, alongside or instead of a full spreadsheet register.
Sample Data Versions for Subscribers

Pairs with the ER9 Legal Register
The ER9 Legal Register is the Excel version, prepared from a listing of all legislation, with other legislation added as required and everything listed marked for relevance. F-IMS27 can be used as the written summary that goes with it, or on its own where a Word register suits better. The F-IMS41 Commercial and Legal Compliance Review sets out questions for reviewing compliance before management review, and PP-1-02 Legal Compliance, Risks and Opportunities Policy Procedure covers the wider arrangements for legal compliance, risks and opportunities.
Included in the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301 and ISO 37001 Toolkits
This register is part of the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301 and ISO 37001 toolkits, including the integrated toolkits that combine them.
Using the Register
Give each item of legislation a reference and a short description, then use the compliance column to note how you meet it, such as the policy, procedure, record or check that shows compliance. Review the register when legislation changes and at management review, and record the reviewer and date each time.
