Re: ISO TS16949 Lead Auditor Requirements
Does anyone have any recommendations for how often ISO TS16949 Lead Auditors should be recertified?
3rd party auditors get tested, evaluated or recertified frequently (constantly). New standard, new rules, both result in tests. Plus, witness audits, review of audits, etc. There is no requirement to recertify
internal lead auditors, but it is beneficial to have continual improvement, refresher training every few years.
Things change. Ideas change. Concepts improve. I find if the people are still auditing the way they were trained 5 years ago, they frequently are not getting the latest techniques.
