How the assessment works

1

Application

We review activities, locations, personnel, requested scope and applicable requirements.

2

Planning

The responsible body, assessment method, timing and commercial conditions are documented.

3

Evaluation

Qualified personnel evaluate implementation using interviews, records, observation and sampling.

4

Independent review

Findings and corrective actions are reviewed before the applicable decision or statement is issued.

Preparing your organization

Define the intended scope, identify applicable legal and customer requirements, assign process ownership, maintain documented information and complete an internal review before the formal assessment. The duration depends on organization size, complexity, locations, shifts, risk and readiness.

Timing is established after application review and depends on scope, employee count, number of sites, readiness and required assessment days.

Many ISO management-system standards share a common structure. An integrated audit may be possible when scope, competence and program requirements allow it.
