Friends,
I am curious to find out how many of you are familiar with ANSI/ISO/ASQ QE19011S-2004? (This is the American version of ISO 19011.)
A few questions:
ISO 19011:2002, Guidelines and Quality and/or Environmental Management Systems Auditing, was developed as a new international consensus standard for auditing QMS and EMS. Because of serious shortcomings in the ISO standard, particularly as applied to internal auditing, the U.S. ANSI Z1 Committee developed an American National Standard, QE 19011S, as a supplement to ISO 19011:2002. ANSI/ASQ QE 19011S-2004 includes expanded guidance on using the standard in internal as well as supplier audit situations in addition to the third-party audit situations addressed primarily by the ISO standard.
Any comments are appreciated. My Fellow Covers, this is just about your familiarity and use of this document. Not about the merits of an internal audit program (quality and/or environmental).
Thank you for your comments.
Stijloor.

A few questions:
- Have you used it in the development of your internal audit program?
- Did you find the "supplemental guidance" helpful?
