I am a little confused and was hoping someone could clear up a debate that has started in my shop. I was trained to be an internal auditor for ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 17025 and AS9100 over the years. I have implemented ISO systems, performed audits and trained internal auditors in all of these ares, as well. I never took a RAB or ANAB course - I was trained internally. I have certs from my instructors, but none claim to be ANAB etc. trained themselves.... I was just told that I am not qualified to audit AS9100 because you MUST have have a certification from an accredited training organization (ie ANSI-RAB or ANAB or such) is this true? I don't want the registrar coming in and disqualifying the validity of our audits because I am not "certified" (although I have performed about 50 AS9100 internal audits in the last 10 years...) HELP!

), tell him/her: unless you are able to produce objective evidence of the requirement in question, I will proceed under the understanding that such requirement is just a figment of someone's imagination and any attempt to comply with an imaginary requirement would only adversely affect our financial results, without an associated return on the investment....or you can try this slightly less subtle approach: knuckle-head, put up or shut up
