•How shall we be
notified of non-conformancies or deficiencies?
•What is the typical response time allowed for initial response to a nonconformance identified during an audit:
°Major nonconformance
°Minor nonconformance
•Will a nonconformance
during the initial assessment require a partial
or follow up assessment to verify corrective action? If yes, what shall the cost of follow up audits be?
NOTE:
Typically if there are 1 or more MAJOR non-conformances, they have to make a return visit. Minors are typically
followed up by mail, FAX, etc.
•Can we be recommended
for certification if there are still some minor
open non-conformances? Determine details.
•How many months of
internal audit records do you require before
scheduling an audit?
