Re: Is an audit required for ISO certified company?
Thanks AndyN, now it is all clearer (well the bit about accreditation vs registration anyway!).
We are "validating" the supplier by giving them a customer survey to fill in, reviewing their history, references etc.
We are a v small company (I'm the only Quality person!) so, although it would be better to do in some cases, we will not be performing on-site audits so we will be going with the fact that they are either already ISO audited OR they demonstrate compliance thru our questionnaire.
Obviously if there were a poor trend or a no. of non-conformances then I'd have to consider performing an on-site audit.....would an ISO auditor accept this?
