Hi all,
I took the AIAG RABQSA-Certifed ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training with ISO/TS 16949 Supplier Auditor Certification course in 2007 and therefore received an AIAG ISO/TS Supplier Auditor Certification certificate for 1st- and 2nd- party assessments. Subsequently, my certification expires this year in 2010.
Basically, we have used this training/certification to qualify me as a Lead Internal Auditor for my company, top qualify me to train other internal auditors, and in the case that we may 2nd-party audit any of our suppliers.
As a cost savings, my company was thinking to not re-certify me now in 2010.
I am wondering if any of you are aware if there are any negative consequences if I do not renew my Supplier Auditor Certification?
As far as lead auditing goes, my interpretation is that since I've been trained, that should not change my status as a qualified trainer for other internal audtiors....so for me the unclear part regards 2nd-party auditing.
FYI, our customers include Ford and GM...so I am aware of the 2nd-party auditing rules. But I guess I'm just not clear whether it is OK to now lose my Supplier Auditor Certification.
I would appreciate any feedback from all of you!!
Thank you!!!
