AS9100 Rev. D Transition Audit - Number of Audit Days

[Michael_M]

I know the number of audit days is based on the number of employees. Per any of the charts I look at on-line (I don't want to buy AS9104/1) says 46-65 employee's (exclude design) is 5.0 for initial, 2.0 for surveillance and 4.0 for Recertification.

I assume moving from 'C' to 'D' is classified as "Initial". Using this, that would be 5.0 days. I am being quoted 10.5 days. Am I missing something?

Are you sure the 10.5 days is not for the 3-year certificate validity? Recert plus 2 annuals?

For our re-certification they added a couple days for the upgrade to revision D. That being said, doubling the length of the audit seems excessive.

We have around 45 employees and we're at 4 - 5 days now. I can't imagine it being 10. Edit: We are a single site campus with 4 buildings, but only 2 manufacturing buildings.

Other factors are involved.

* Do you have more than one site (Campus or multi-site).
* Do you have complex or simple, repeatable process.

I had my transition audit last month, originally quoted for 13 days, but lowered to 9 days due to going from a multi-site to a single site and lower employee count brought us to the next lower bracket.

Also, figure in time for review of NCR's from previous audit (which adds time).

We're at 170 employees, 1 site. Our 3-yr recertification, including upgrade to Rev D, was 8 days.
