Thank you for your reply. This is my understanding as well.
My searches have been statements from various Notifying Bodies stating that is is what's expected, not from a regularly updated website with controlled documents. This is where the difficulty lies. Our most recent audit revealed the sole minor non-conformity as not having language that speaks to unannounced audits (although we recognize that it could occur with cause from previous documents) and quite frankly our procedures wouldn't change as we regard our NB as essential partners in our processes. It's difficult to perform a root cause analysis when the source of the changes comes from word of mouth or discussion groups (the first post in this thread was having been told by their NB themselves).
