GENERAL GUIDANCE ON ACCEPTANCE OF AUDITS: What audits do we accept? For all grades except Lead Auditor at initial certification, we will only accept audits performed during the previous 3 year period. For Lead Auditor grade, you must have acquired the lead audit experience during the previous 2 years. We define previous period as being that period immediately prior to the date we receive your completed application. We must be able to verify all audit experience you submit in your log sheets. Please make sure you include detailed information of the audits you perform and provide sufficient contact details so that we able to perform the verification. We will only accept audits that have been performed in accordance with the auditing guidance standard, ISO 19011:2002 (or ISO 10011, for audits conducted prior to the issue of ISO 19011) and against the standard defined in the corresponding requirements / criteria documents (e.g. for the IRCA/602 QMS 2000 scheme we require audits against ISO 9001:2000 or an alternative standard we accept as being equivalent). Audits performed against alternative national, international or company standards may be acceptable. We will accept supplier audits (also known as second party audits), and certification audits (also known as third party audits) and internal audits (also known as first party audits). We also accept consultancy audits (see below), which can be performed as first, second or third party audits. Internal (first party) audits: For the Internal Auditor grade we will accept internal audits performed by you on parts of your own organization where you are independent from the operational activities you are auditing. We will consider accepting internal audits for other grades providing that, in addition to you being independent from the operational activities you are auditing, the scope of the auditing was sufficiently broad and the audit was sufficiently complex to require you to use a range of auditing skills. So that we can consider your internal audits for acceptance, we advise you to provide us with appropriate and relevant supporting information. Consultancy Audits: We will accept audits performed by you when acting as a consultant for a client if all the following are satisfied: The client (auditee) already had a fully established management system prior to the audit You had no part in setting up the management system being audited (except in specific circumstances as described below) You were independent of the auditee The scope of the audit included all elements of the management system
We will also accept pre-assessment audits performed by you on a management system that you were involved in developing if the certification body subsequently awarded certification at the first attempt. Surveillance (partial system) audits: We do not normally accept surveillance (partial system) audits when submitted for initial certification (except for Internal Auditor grade). However, we do accept surveillance audits for renewal of certification. As a general rule we consider five surveillance audits to be equivalent to one full management system audit, but recognize that some surveillance audits can be very extensive. In such instances, we will accept fewer than five surveillance audits (as being equal to one full management system audit) if you provide us with evidence that supports your claim. Audits we do not accept: We do not accept: audits of the same management system that are repeated more frequently than once every 12 months. audits of less than one day (6 hours of on-site audit activity exclusive of breaks) duration, except for Internal Auditor grade where we will accept audits of 3 hours exclusive of breaks. gap analysis, close out or follow up visits. audits performed before successful completion of the formal training requirement.
