Please help me from thinking I am going mad. We have a 14001 2015 transition audit in 3 weeks. I recently carried out an internal audit on "internal audits" for our Env advisor. (I am Quality)
I audited against the 2015 standard as that is what we are being audited against shortly. There was a major NC due to the procedure and audit plan not following the 2015 standard.
The Env Advisor has told me I should have audited against 2004 standard as that is what we are certified to at the moment.
With 9001 I was told to treat the transition audit as a recertification audit. The system should be running to the 2015 standard at least 6 months previous so there was something to audit. How can you audit a system against 2015 if you haven't be running the EMS to it?
I have told the Env Advisor this, and also his Boss so he is prepared when we fail the audit.
Can someone please confirm if I am correct?
Thanks
