Hi guys,
Hopefully the collective Cove wisdom can shed some light on this...
Our multiyear AS9100 accreditation contract was revised by our CB & resubmitted for approval due to AS9104/1. The new contract added .25 audit days for every surveillance visit to cover auditor time "for planning, report writing, and/or completion of 9101 forms" (from AS9104/1 8.2.2.d). Multiple visits on multiple sites really adds up at .25 days every time at the four figure daily rate.
The CB is saying the standard requires them to charge us for it. Seems like they should be absorbing it. Just wondering what you guys have seen, if it's typical, and if I should be pushing back... I just don't see where the standard says we have to pay for it, I just see that it doesn't allow on-site audit time to be used for anything besides auditing or filling out A9101.
Thanks!
