Description / Abstract:
General
This standard defines requirements for the preparation and
execution of the audit process. Additionally, it defines the
content and composition for the audit reporting of conformity and
process effectiveness to the 9100-series standards, the
organization's quality management system documentation, and
customer/regulatory requirements.
The requirements in this standard are additions or represent
changes to the requirements and guidelines in the standards for
conformity assessment, auditing, and certification as published by
ISO/IEC (i.e., ISO/IEC 17000, ISO 19011, ISO/IEC 17021). When there
is conflict with these standards, the requirements of the 9101
standard shall take precedence.
NOTE 1: In this standard, the term "9100-series standards"
comprises the following quality management system standards: 9100,
9110, and 9120; developed by the IAQG and published by various
national standards bodies.
NOTE 2: In addition to this standard, IAQG publishes recommended
practices that can be used by audit teams when executing the audit
process.
Application
This standard shall be used for audits of 9100-series standards
by CBs for certification of organizations, under the auspices of
the aviation, space, and defense industry certification scheme
[also known as Industry Controlled Other Party (ICOP) scheme]. The
ICOP scheme requirements are defined in the 9104-series
standards.
NOTE 1: Conflicts between 9104-series standards and this
standard will be escalated to IAQG and resolved by an IAQG
decision(s).
NOTE 2: Relevant parts of this standard (e.g., clauses 4.2.1,
4.2.2, 4.2.3, and 4.2.4) can be used by an organization in support
of internal audits (1st party) and external audits at
suppliers (2nd party). This includes the audit
methodology, guidance material, and document formats [e.g., audit
reports, Nonconformity Reports (NCRs), other documents described in
the appendices]. In such case, the words "Certification Body" or
"CB" should be read as "auditor" or "auditing organization", as
appropriate.
