How do you know what their procedures say? Ask for a copy of them ahead of time, make sure they cover the requirements, then when you go to their facility check to make sure they are doing what they say they will do.

And carry the ISO standard, checking the ISO requirements as you audit their processes. You'll need to bounce back and forth between what they say and what is absolutely required. Take lots of notes!! When in doubt, Come back to the Cove:) and ask more questions!

There we go. Yes, you must be provided access to all the procedures you will need to do this--could be a tall stack--starting with the QMS manual and working through the critical systems as the previous posters have said. Be prepared to spend some time doing this, and carefully read the registrar's remarks for insight and guidance. If you need more clarity, by all means contact the registrar, explain your project and ask your specific questions.
