Re: What is the technical difference between the word "IDENTIFY" and "DETERMINE"?
Results of audit in the form of a summary/ statements of nonconformity and the results of actions taken in side-by-side columns is all that's sufficient to prove that an audit was conducted and actions taken. That's what ISO 9001:2000 version required us to do but the current version goes one step further by clearly stipulating:
However, the following requirement is common in both the standards.
Just out of curiosity, if you agree that internal auditing is/was a requirement, but believe that prior to the 2008 version keeping records of internal audits was not a requirement, how (prior to the 2008 version) would you go about presenting objective evidence of having done internal audits and acted upon their results if there were no records?
Records of the audits and their results shall be maintained
A documented procedure shall be established to define the responsibilities and requirements for planning and conducting audits, establishing records and reporting results.
