Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2000 the revised ISO 9001 standard has been implemented and is being used widely. While the basic premise of the original book is still sound, the reality of auditing the new standard has shown up various areas which require refinement - this new edition addresses that need. It remains a pragmatic guide, covering all aspects of auditing, including certification assessment, supplier investigation and internal audit, enabling auditors to appreciate the approaches adopted by those working in related areas. With its detailed analysis of the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, this book will also be of interest to all those involved in implementing certified quality management systems, as well as the auditors who are required to examine those systems. A down-to-earth approach is taken throughout The Quality Audit for ISO 9001:2000, avoiding the impractical and nit-picking methods which have so often characterized quality management audits, making it an invaluable source of realistic advice. It demonstrates how to produce real benefits from an audit programme rather than simply guaranteeing compliance to a documented system. Everyone who sees audits as a useful tool for business improvement should read this book!

In order to meet the recommendations, requirements and specifications of ISO 9001:2000, organisations must undertake an audit of their own quality procedures and those of their suppliers. Likewise, when supplying ISO 9001:2000 accredited customers, suppliers must be prepared to undergo a similar audit. Revised, updated and expanded, ISO 9001:2000 Audit Procedures describes the methods for completing management reviews and quality audits, and outlines the experiences of working with 9001:2000 since its launch in 2000. It also includes essential new material on process models, generic pocesses, the requirements for mandatory documented procedures, and detailed coverage of auditors questionnaires.

With the publication of ISO 9001:2000, there is now a single quality management "requirements" standard that is applicable to all organisations, products and services. ISO 9001:2000 is the only standard that can be used for the certification of a quality management system (QMS) and its generic requirements can be used by any organisation. It is the quality standard which specifies the requirements of quality management systems for use where organisations need to demonstrate their capability to provide products and services which meet both customer needs and relevant regulatory requirements.

This guide to the quality audits is associated with maintaining compliance to ISO 9001 and similar standards. It covers all aspects of auditing, enabling each auditor to appreciate the approaches adopted by those working in related areas.
