After, requesting from our registrar, the criteria for consolidating several ISO certs into a signle certification, the registrar provided a series of questions that develop their criteria for consolidation. There are 12 questions (Y/N) to be answered, answer YES to all and you are a candidate for consolidation. There are two questions that we answered NO:
1)Are internal audits conducted at all locations and reviewed centrally? Each site conducts audits but the are reviewed at the individual site level.
2)Is the management system documentation in effect applicable at all locations? We currently have four seperate quality manuals for each cert. They are very similar (format, etc.) but some customization exists in some of the elements of the documentation system.
I am interested in some ideas that can help me take our quality system towards consolidation and result in a YES to these questions.
