Can anyone point me to the rule that defines the frequency of internal audits of a remote site, specifically a 200-person Design Center for a Design Responsible world leader in electronics?
I say it should be at least once every 12 months (gut feel, I know I should have it in writing). One of our clients is saying another consultant advised every 36 months and that the registered company management make that call based on a ‘risk assessment’. If anyone has any concrete guidance on this, it would be much appreciated.
The client is not yet registered to IATF 16949 and hasn't selected a registrar. They are a very large global brand who is now getting some pressure to be registered to IATF 16949 (Been registered to ISO 9001 since 1987; however, while they ARE design responsible, they conveniently ‘excluded’ that from their ISO 9001 registration (!!) with the blessing of their registrar. Clearly this will not be acceptable in the new IATF registration. (Can I assume the registrar would audit the remote site above every 12 months?)
Thanks in advance for any advice.
