ISO 9001: 2000 : Audit Procedures

The revised quality management systems ISO 9001:2000 was put in place in December 2000. There is huge international interest in the subject, particularly from companies already certified to ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9004, needing to update their existing systems to ISO 9001:2000. "ISO 9001:2000 Audit Procedures" fills a need for a guide which will assist auditors in completing internal, external and third party audits of existing ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002:1994 and ISO 9003:1994 compliant Quality Management Systems, newly implemented ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems and transitional QMSs. Organizations must also be prepared to undergo an audit of their own quality procedures from potential customers and prove to them that their Quality Management System fully meets the recommendations, requirements and specifications of ISO 9001:2000. "ISO 9001:2000 Audit Procedures" describes methods for completing management reviews and quality audits. This book includes essential information on what is provided in ISO 9001:2000. It provides stage audit check sheets. It provides a crosscheck between the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and that of any QMS previously certified to ISO 9001:1994.
