In QS-9000 we have a published schedule of the required audit days for the initial certification and for surveillance audits. It is based on the number of employees in the company.

Is there such a thing for ISO-9000:2000? If so, where can I find it? Is there a perscribed surveillance schedule and renewal process? And BTW, what is the duration of the ISO certificate? Is it the same 3 years as QS?

Any information would be appreciated.

Refer to IAF Guide 62. you can link to the IAF thru www.rabnet.com

The guide is a free download, and has what you need.

Looks like that will answer most of my questions.
