ISO14k Audit Day Requirements
I am presently in discussion with my registrar on the number of days required to perform a registration audit to ISO14k at one of our manufacturing sites.
I have been told that they will need 5 days, excluding the time needed before the audit for the documenation review, to do this.
This is one less day than required for a facility of 100 employees when attaining QS9000 registration. And I just don't understand WHY?!!?!!???
I have been told this number has been decided by the senior management at our registrar; but I cannot figure out what will be audited for 5 whole days.
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Or, better yet, give me a benchmark for approximate lengths that other registration audits have been so that I can take that information to our registrar!
We are manufacturers of acoustical products for the automotive industry. Our materials are virtually non-hazardous to people. Our product waste is somewhat unfriendly but its volume is what is of environmental concern. The location of the facility brings into it a lot of wildlife, flora, etc., that is an aspect. But FIVE DAYS of auditing, I just can't see how!
Thanks for the input.
