    Frequently Asked Questions

    Check out the answers to most asked questions.

    Auditor Certification Organization certifies auditors/lead auditors based on completed ISO 9001:2015 certified auditor training, required QMS experience and auditing experience.

    The Organization to be certified, the ISO 9001:2015 Consultant, if retained & the External Registrar.

    ISO 9001;2015 QMS consultant can assist organizations in several ways:

    • QMS certification project from beginning/scratch until achieving certification certificate including QMS documentation development, QMS training, QMS implementation, QMS effectiveness evaluation, assistance in stage 1 and stage 2 externa registrar audit and any follow-ups.
    • QMS on demand specific development topic, implementation assistance or partial continual improvement.
    • QMS fractional contract consulting (on a contract basis) such as: QMS Senior Management assistance-strategic plan, organizational risk assessment, QMS; Audit planning, conducting and reporting; Non-conformance resolution and corrective action implementation; Overall QMS oversight for continual improvement
    • On demand audit management for internal audits, supplier audits, customer audits, products audits, project audits, external registrar audits, process audits and system audits

    Mostly yes because of the following:

    • Comprehensive knowledge of the ISO 9001:2015 Standard requirements due to their core work.
    • knowledge of pitfalls during documentation development and ISO 9001:2015 QMS implementation.
    • Trainer expertise in terms of ISO 9001:2015 Standard.
    • Better exposure with and interaction with Registrar auditor during certification audits.
    • Correction of gaps during audits at the last minute

    The value-adding ISO 9001;2015 QMS will be based upon the following framework:

    • Identification of processes at functional levels and application of process approach using a PDCA cycle.
    • Establishing a practical and effective risk assessment model and its application at organizational and functional levels.
    • Aligning the QMS, its objectives/KPIs with the strategic plan/objectives/targets of the organization

    Whereas the fluffy QMS will practically be a copy and paste version of ISO 9001;2015 Standard with very little emphasis on understanding of process approach and risk-based thinking.

    The ISO 9001:2015 consultant can speed up the registration process by:

    • Rationally challenging the external registrar auditor on unjustified/unsupported findings raised by that registrar.
    • Resolving minor findings or issues during the external registrar audit.
    • Assist in developing corrective actions in response to findings so that external registrar accepts these the first time.
