management responsibility for the declared policies.
Methods used to obtain information are: interviews, observation
and review of documented information.
Audit findings (summarizing conformity and detailing
nonconformity) will be recorded by the audit team using
specific forms.
Nonconformities are recorded and classified as follows:
Major nonconformity – nonconformity that affects the
capability of the management system to achieve the intended
results. Major nonconformity can be either a significant doubt
that effective process control is in place or products or services
will meet specific requirements or a number of minor
nonconformities associated with the same requirement or issue
that could demonstrate a systemic failure.
Minor nonconformity – a nonconformity that does not affect the
capability of the management system to achieve the intended
results.
