Surveillance audits / recertification
As Scopewire Data GmbH, your partner for digital sustainability solutions, we know how important regular surveillance audits are for maintaining your ISO 9001 certification. After all, continuous improvement and quality assurance are at the heart of this recognized standard. Surveillance audits are a central part of the 3-year cycle of ISO 9001 certification.
They serve to check the ongoing conformity and effectiveness of your quality management system. The first surveillance audit takes place around 12 months after the initial certification, followed by the second audit another 12 months later. After the 3 years have passed, re-certification is due, during which your entire QM system is again examined in detail. Compared to the initial certification audit, surveillance audits are shorter in duration, as only parts of your QM system are checked on a random basis.
The certification body creates a detailed audit plan with the areas to be audited and time frames. This plan is sent to you in advance for preparation. For a smooth surveillance audit, all relevant QM documents such as manuals, procedural instructions and records must be up to date and available. The involvement of employees from the areas to be audited for interviews and inspections is also essential. A key checkpoint is that your company pursues a culture of continuous improvement of the QM system and that deviations are systematically processed. After the audit, you will receive a report with the results, any deviations and necessary corrective measures. At Scopewire, we are happy to support you in optimally preparing for upcoming surveillance audits. Our digital QM solutions enable seamless documentation, traceability and analysis of all relevant processes. This means you can always keep a complete overview of your certification status.
