What is an ISO Audit

What is an ISO Audit?


Well, there's nothing really tricky about what an ISO audit is.


Simply speaking, it's the process which an organization undertakes to audit their compliance to
the relevant tenets of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. It is performed by a certified ISO 9001:2015 Lead auditor.

ISO Certification Consultants Inc, with its partnership certification body, has auditors who are ready to perform these necessary audits for your organization.

Many auditors have the additional challenge of getting to a client company now due to travel restrictions and access to facilities restrictions. The Remote ISO Audit has become more accepted and in many cases mandatory or requested by companies.This has become, in many cases, the only way to circumvent the challenges facing our industry due to CoVid 19.  I'm willing to challenge that the future of ISO 9001 auditing has been changed forever and that the remote ISO audit will become more sophisticated with time and the preferred method of ISO certification going forward.
