Here's an update.

The response from the account manager was supportive of the auditor, but a little softer. He indicated that is our system was well defined (more than just control plan inclusion)that DNV would audit to our procedures.

I did submit this to the IASG and received a response from Peter Lake of SRI. He indicated with the conversations at the Dec 18 IASG meeting.Here is the response:
"Beyond the requirement for final inspection of a finished product is that a 'final product audit' be conducted. The audit of the product is conducted after it has been packaged, labeled, and ready to leave the loading dock. By virtue of the title'Final Product audit,' the audit is a verification of records that product, packaging, labeling, etc. conform to the customers requirements. The intent is not to incur added cost by duplicating tests already satisfactorily conducted. This final product audit should be based on sampling and can be reduced in frequency when customers PPM's are met."

Has anyone had any problem as of late with the Dock Audit requirement?

My registrar is BSI...

Our auditor felt that a dimensional inspection was necessary, though we did not debate "full" dimensional inspection versus "key" dimensional inspection.

So, our minimum requirement is inspection of:

1) Packaging for adequacy.
2) Labeling for adequacy.
3) A minimum of one part pulled for dimensional evaluation.

(All as defined by the customer plus whatever else we deem as appropriate.)

The timing of the dock audits are determined by us (currently a minimum of ONE random part in finished goods each month).

Our auditor was satisfied.

For alot of product "dimensional" issues may not be whats important. For example, in fuel system business, calibration is considered important and dock audit parts are run on a flow stand. Key visual items are checked, especially if product is currently in containment for anything. I can't see where the registrar can require full dimensional. You can use the build date or pack date information to trace records and "make sure" everything was done, then use common sense for physical features to check. Worked for a BSI audit.
