Hello Cove members,
We have recently been re-certified for ISO9001:2008 and during the re-certification audit, there was an Opportunity For Improvement (OFI) from the certification body auditor for Clause 6.2.2 on Competence, Training and Awareness whereby we are suggested to include the internal auditors competency in term of appropriate education, training and experience that could be properly identified.
The auditor have proposed to create a job description for the suggested item above but what i have in mind is that :
1. Do the ISO9001:2008 internal auditor need to be qualified? As i'm just
joined the company recently, i'm not sure whether the selected internal
auditor are qualified.
2. What is the criteria for an employee to be a qualified internal auditor?
3. If they are not qualified, then should i propose to management to get in
a training body to get them qualified accordingly or is there any other
way to qualified them instead of get them attend the training?
This company has been certified for the part 14 years and i'm asking above question is because our selected internal auditors are from sales, DCC and store and since we have been suggested by our certification body auditor to establish a job description for the internal auditor, what i write must tally with our selected internal auditor qualification, otherwise it will not comply with the ISO9001 concept (what you say is what you do) and i might be question during our next surveillance audit.
Please provide me with a job description for an internal auditor for ISO9001:2008 for my reference, Thanks for everyone's help.
