Re: Design & Development in Food and Beverage Services - Permissible exclusion or not
I agree with what JaneB and the rest have advised.
I would like to add the following recommendation to what they advise. If you have a good working relationship with your registrar, ask them now before the audit. I have always had a good working relationship with my registrars, and was always able to obtain interpretations between audits.
Note: Your registrar is not allowed to consult. That is, they cannot make recommendations on HOW to address an issue. They can, however, provide feedback on whether a particular course of action would meet the intent of the standard.
Several covers are ISO 9001 auditors. Hopefully they will weigh in on this.
