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."
