•What are your requirements as a registrar above and
beyond ISO9001?
°Request
hard copy of their ‘Contract Requirements’
°Ask if there are any requirements not on their ‘Contract
Requirements’ listing.
•Are the registrar’s
auditors direct hire full-time
employees or are they contract?
•Will your
company have the same
Lead Auditor every audit (a Project
Lead Auditor)?
NOTE:
Most registrars ‘appoint’ a specific person as a project manager
(project lead auditor or what
ever the registrar calls it). Ask about how the registrar you are interviewing structures their projects.
•Will the registrar send
the Project Lead Auditor on each audit or will a substitute be assigned for surveillance audits?
•Will only the Lead
Auditor have experience in the industry or will every member of the audit team?
