The ISO 9001 quality management system certification audit process can be divided into three main phases:‌ preparation phase, audit phase, and post-certification supervision‌. The specific steps are as follows:

I. Preliminary Preparation Phase

• Prepare the quality manual, procedural documents, and record forms, ensuring coverage of all standard clauses (clauses not affecting customer requirements may be excluded)‌.

• The system must be operational for at least 3 months, and at least one internal audit and management review must be completed‌.

• 极

• Submit the application, manual, and other materials; after review by the certification body, sign the contract and arrange the audit plan‌.        

II. Certification Audit Phase

• Stage 1 Audit (Document Review):‌

  The certification body reviews the documents for compliance with the ISO 9001 standard and proposes modifications‌.

  
  

• Stage 2 Audit (On-site Audit):‌

  The audit team verifies the effectiveness of the system operation through sampling checks, interviews, etc., and issues a non-conformity report‌.

  
  

• The enterprise must rectify non-conformities within a specified time limit; after submitting evidence, the certification body decides whether to issue the certificate‌.

III. Post-Certification Supervision

• Surveillance Audit:‌

  One surveillance audit per year during the certificate's validity period to ensure the system continues to comply with the standard‌.

   

• Re-certification:‌

  A re-assessment must be applied for before the certificate expires after 3 years, following the same process as the initial certification‌.
