Question No : 1
An audit team leader arrives at a printing organisation to carry out a Stage 2 audit for a certification body. At a meeting with the Quality Manager, she is told that they have won their biggest contract from a computer manufacturer to print and compile computer documentation packages. They have leased the unit next door for space reasons but have never worked in this sector before. The Quality Manager wants the ISO 9001 certificate to cover the new contract.
Which one of the options is the correct response by the auditor?
정답: Explanation:
When an organization wishes to extend the scope of their current certification to include new services or activities, such as the printing and compilation of computer documentation packages, it requires an extension to the scope of the audit. This involves a formal application process with the certification body to ensure that the new activities are included in the audit plan and that the organization’s quality management system encompasses these new processes12.
Reference: = The answer is based on the ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group guidance on scope and applicability, which outlines the need for a formal application process when there is a change in the scope of the quality management system that affects the certification1. Additionally, the UKAS guide on the extension to scope (ETS) process provides information on how changes to the scope, including the addition of new services, require a formal application2.
Question No : 2
You are conducting a Stage 1 audit at an organisation that services refrigeration equipment for a large customer base.
The scope of certification is "Provision of refrigeration equipment maintenance and repair services". You are interviewing the Managing Director to learn more about the organisation and to explore how the requirements for policy, objectives, and risks and opportunities in ISO 9001 are addressed.
The Managing Director explains that they only use sub-contract refrigeration engineers and do not have any full-time refrigeration engineers, which helps to optimise overhead costs. The full-time staff employed are essentially a small team of office staff who process customer enquiries, schedule jobs and process invoices.
The Managing Director adds that the ISO 9001 requirements for competence of personnel extends to both sub-contract and full-time staff. He also states that the full-time staff are aware of the Quality Policy, objectives and plans to address risk and opportunities.
You ask if the sub-contract engineers have been informed of the Quality Policy, objectives and plans to address risks and opportunities, to which the Managing Director replies that this is not applicable as they only use sub-contractors who operate ISO 9001 certificated quality management systems. The documented information provided to the auditor confirms this.
Which clause in ISO 9001 is most likely not to have been fulfilled in this instance?
정답: Explanation:
Questions no: 16 Verified Answer = C. 7.4 Communication Comprehensive But Short = Clause 7.4 of ISO 9001:2015 requires the organization to determine the internal and external communications relevant to the quality management system, including what will be communicated, when, with whom, and how. The scenario indicates a potential gap in communication with subcontractors regarding the Quality Policy, objectives, and plans to address risks and opportunities, which is a requirement even if the subcontractors have their own ISO 9001 certified systems123.
Reference: = This response is based on the general requirements of ISO 9001:2015 related to communication with external parties, such as subcontractors, as outlined in various resources discussing Clause 7.4123.
Question No : 3
Which of the following three options could be considered potential threats to impartiality in an audit context?
정답: Explanation:
Questions no: 1 Verified Answer = C, D, E Comprehensive But Short = Potential threats to impartiality in an audit context include familiarity (having a close relationship with the auditee), intimidation (being coerced or feeling pressured), and self-audit (auditing one’s own work). These factors can compromise the auditor’s objectivity and the audit’s integrity.
Reference: = The information is based on the ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group documents which discuss threats to auditor impartiality and how they may compromise an auditor’s objectivity123.
Question No : 4
A Health Trust has contracted with Servitup, a catering services organisation that has been certified to ISO 9001 for one year. It provides services to 10 small rural hospitals in remote locations involving the purchase and storage of dry goods and fresh produce, preparing meals, and loading heated trolleys for Ward Service by hospital staff. You, as auditor, are conducting the first surveillance audit at one site with the Deputy Catering Manager (DCM).
DCM: "I apologise for the absence of the Catering Manager. He has called in sick today and we are really short of staff."
You: "I see. It really shouldn't affect the QMS so the audit can progress as normal."
DCM: "The Catering Manager set up the system. I'm afraid I'm not as familiar with it as he is."
You: "OK, let's start with the Quality Policy.
What are the main issues for the QMS here?"
DCM: "Give me a minute. I need to look at the Quality Policy on the noticeboard in his office."
As the audit progresses, it is clear that the DCM has a very low knowledge of the QMS. He continually has to look up the answers to your questions
or ask staff members about their processes. You decide to raise a nonconformity.
Select one of the following options that best describes the nonconformity.
정답:
Question No : 5
TIX provides services to the informatic equipment of large organisations. They operate an ISO 9001:2015 QMS that is being audited by an important customer (second-party audit). During the audit, the audit team has identified two nonconformities. When preparing the Closing meeting, the audit team discussed and agreed both nonconformities with TIX's quality manager. The Closing meeting was planned for 6pm with the general manager, quality manager and service manager at the meeting room.
At 6pm, when the audit team enters the meeting room, only two people are present and waiting for them: the Health and Safety supervisor and the warehouse supervisor. Neither have participated in the audit.
The dialogue among them is as follows:
Audit team leader: "Good evening, could you please inform the three managers that we are ready to start with the Closing meeting?"
Health and Safety supervisor: "Good evening. We are sorry to inform you that the general manager was involved in a serious car accident, and
the other two managers have had to leave urgently to attend the emergency."
Warehouse supervisor: "They have asked us to listen to what you need to say and to sign whatever we need to sign. We also have a message from them about the two nonconformities. They wanted us to ask you if you could contact them in a couple of days to determine how to proceed."
Which one of the following options would be your preferred response to the final comment made by the warehouse manager?
정답:
Question No : 6
You have been just hired as the Internal Lead Auditor of a large organisation, responsible for internal audits. Your first job is to analyse the answers to nonconformities included in the report of a recent internal audit to Top Management.
The report contained one nonconformity as follows:
There is no evidence of Top Management ensuring the availability of resources to operate the QMS, the establishment of objectives, the promotion of continual improvement, and the promoting of the process approach.
Which four of the following Top Management actions can be considered 'corrections to the nonconformity'?
정답:
Question No : 7
You work for an organisation, 'ABC', which provides packaged food to the public. You are asked to lead a team (you as the leader and two other auditors) to audit an external provider, 'XYZ', which provides packaging materials to your organisation. It is 4 pm, and the audit is dlose to an end; you are having an internal meeting with the team to decide what will be presented to the auditee during the Closing meeting. The Closing meeting was scheduled for 5 pm.
'XYZ' has two manufacturing lines: M1 is a clean room for primary packaging materials (i.e. will be in direct contact with the food), and M2 is for secondary materials (i.e. will not be in direct contact with food).
Auditor 1 audited the two manufacturing lines.
You: "What findings would you report?"
Auditor 1: "I have one issue. Earlier today in the morning I saw some secondary material stocked in the clean room. I would propose raising a nonconformity."
You: "How would you write the nonconformity?"
Auditor 1: "In the clean room, there was a pallet with secondary materials."
What additional information would you add to this text to complete the nonconformity report? Select six.
정답:
Question No : 8
An audit team of three people is conducting a Stage 2 audit to ISO 9001 of an engineering organisation which manufactures sacrificial anodes for the oil and gas industry in marine environments. These are aluminium products designed to prevent corrosion of submerged steel structures. As one of
the auditors, you find that the organisation has shipped anodes for Project DK in the Gulf of Mexico before the galvanic efficiency test results for the anodes have been fully analysed and reported as required by the customer. The Quality Manager explains that the Managing Director authorised the release of the anodes to avoid late delivery as penalties would be imposed. The customer was not informed since the tests rarely fall below the required efficiency. You raise a nonconformity against clause 8.6 of ISO 9001.
During the audit team meeting in preparation for the Closing meeting, the second auditor disagreed with the clause of ISO 9001 selected for the above nonconformity. He thinks it should be clause 9.1.1.
Choose three options for how the audit team leader should best respond to the situation:
정답: Explanation:
As the audit team leader, it is crucial to manage differing opinions constructively and ensure that the correct clause is selected for the nonconformity based on solid evidence.
Here’s how the situation should be handled:
E. Invite you and the second auditor to fully explain your point of view and then decide which clause to select: This promotes collaboration and transparency, allowing both auditors to present their rationale for choosing the specific clause.
F. Review the evidence with you and the second auditor, and then decide which clause of ISO 9001 would best apply: Reviewing the evidence in relation to the specific requirements of ISO 9001 is essential for determining which clause is most appropriate.
H. Try to obtain a consensus between you and the second auditor after a discussion of the different opinions: Consensus-building is a crucial skill for an audit team leader. Achieving agreement ensures the nonconformity is addressed accurately and with full team support.
Options such as overruling immediately (D) or deferring the decision without full discussion (B) could undermine team dynamics and the audit process. Consulting the quality manager (A) or selecting an entirely different clause (G) is unnecessary, as the team should resolve the issue internally.
Question No : 9
Whistlekleen is a national dry cleaning and laundry company with 50 shops. You are conducting a surveillance audit of the Head Office and are sampling customer complaints. 80% of complaints originate from five shops in the same region. Most of these complaints relate to customer laundry not being cleaned as customers require. The Quality Manager tells you that these are the oldest shops in the company. The cleaning equipment needs replacing but the company cannot afford it now. You learn that the shop managers were told to dismiss most of the complaints because of the poor quality of the laundered materials.
On raising the matter with senior management, you are told that there are plans to replace the equipment in these shops over the next five years.
You raised a nonconformity against clause 8.5.1 of ISO 9001.
Based on the scenario, select the three options which best describe the evidence for raising such a nonconformity.
정답:
Question No : 10
You are auditing an organisation that has been certificated to ISO 9001 for ten years. The organisation is a privately-owned, multi-site car tyre fitting organisation. You are auditing one of the sites. You are auditing the car tyre fitting service. You are interviewing the Site Manager (SM).
You: "Would you explain the car tyre fitting service?"
SM: "Of course. Customers typically call us by phone with their requirements. We ask them what they want. We check whether we have the tyres they need in stock. If we don't have the tyres in stock, we contact our supplier to confirm when they would be able to supply the tyres. We then determine the cost. We then check what availability we have in our busy schedule to fit the new tyres. We then inform the customer with details of cost and when we can fit the tyres. If the customer is happy to proceed with the booking, we update our Work Schedule. The same process applies for customers who walk into our office and for online requests."
You: "What information do you retain should there be a defect reported by a manufacturer of tyres that you have fitted?"
SM: "We maintain records of customer names, addresses and contact phone numbers. We maintain a record of the type of tyre fitted and the tyre manufacturers batch information. We also maintain a record of the registration numbers of the vehicles we have fitted tyres to. All records are in our Work Schedule."
Which two of the following options you would take to enable you to gather further audit evidence to validate what the Site Manager has told you?
정답:
Question No : 11
You are carrying out an audit at an organisation seeking certification to ISO 9001 for the first time. The organisation offers health and safety training to customers. Training courses are offered either as open courses, delivered at a public venue, or online, or as courses that are tailored to meet specific requirements. The business operates from a single office and those who deliver the training are either full-time employees or subcontractors.
You are interviewing the Training Manager (TM).
You: "What quality objectives apply to the training process?"
TM: "One of the quality objectives we aim for is a 90% minimum exam pass rate for all open training courses."
You: "How do you measure this objective?"
The Training Manager shows you a record on her computer and you see the following:
Which two of the following statements are true?
정답: Explanation:
In this scenario, the organization has set a quality objective of achieving a 90% minimum exam pass rate for all courses. The auditor’s task is to assess whether this objective is being monitored effectively and if appropriate actions are taken when the objective is not met.
B. You would determine how the exam pass rate figures were analysed: ISO 9001:2015, particularly Clause 9.1 (Monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation), requires organizations to evaluate performance data. The auditor should verify how the organization analyses the pass rate data to ensure trends are identified, and corrective actions are planned based on this analysis.
D. You would determine what corrective action was being taken to address the low pass rates: When performance falls short of the objective, as seen with Course 4 (where the pass rate is below 90% in all months), Clause 10.2 (Nonconformity and corrective action) requires organizations to take corrective actions to address issues. The auditor would need to check if corrective actions have been initiated to address consistently low pass rates.
Statements A, C, E, and F do not directly address the monitoring and corrective action required under ISO 9001:2015 in this context.
Question No : 12
You are carrying out an annual audit at an organisation that has been certificated to ISO 9001 for two years. The organisation offers home security services. The scope of the quality management system covers alarm installation, alarm servicing, alarm monitoring and response. The business operates from a single office and employs subcontract installers and service technicians across the country.
You have just completed the opening meeting. You are interviewing the Managing Director (MD).
You: "I would like to gain an understanding of how the quality management system has been supporting your business and its strategic direction."
MD: "We are continuing to face difficult times. The market is extremely competitive, and customers typically look for the least expensive option when choosing home security services. We have not yet seen any business benefit from our quality management system."
You: "Tell me how you determine external and internal issues."
MD: "We use SWOT analysis (Strengths Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)."
You: "How have the outputs from your SWOT been used?"
Select two of the following audit trails would you take to explore the extent to which the SWOT analysis and the outputs from this have been used to enable the business to achieve the intended results(s) of its quality management system according to ISO 9001.
정답: Explanation:
According to ISO 9001:2015, clause 4.1, the organisation must determine the external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and that affect its ability to achieve the intended results of its quality management system. The organisation must also monitor and review the information about these issues. SWOT analysis is a tool that can help the organisation to identify its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. However, the SWOT analysis alone is not sufficient to comply with the requirement, as the organisation also needs to review the information periodically and update it as necessary. Therefore, one audit trail would be to establish how the organisation reviews information about external and internal issues, such as how often, by whom, using what criteria, and with what results. 123
According to ISO 9001:2015, clause 10.3, the organisation must continually improve the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the quality management system. The organisation must also consider
the results of analysis and evaluation, and the outputs from management review, to determine if there are any needs or opportunities for improvement. SWOT analysis can help the organisation to identify the areas where improvement is needed or possible, such as addressing the weaknesses and threats, or exploiting the strengths and opportunities. However, the SWOT analysis alone is not sufficient to comply with the requirement, as the organisation also needs to take actions to implement the improvement, such as setting objectives, allocating resources, assigning responsibilities, and evaluating the effectiveness. Therefore, another audit trail would be to establish what actions were taken to improve the QMS, such as what, when, by whom, how, and with what results. 124

Question No : 13
Noitol is an organisation specialising in the design and production of e-learning training materials for the insurance market. During an ISO 9001 audit of the development department, the auditor asks the Head of Development about the process used for validation of the final course design. She states that they usually ask customers to validate the product with volunteers. She says that the feedback received often leads to key improvements.
The auditor samples the design records for a recently completed course for the 247 Insurance organisation. Design verification was carried out but there was no validation report. The Head of Development advises that this customer required the product on an urgent basis, so the validation stage was omitted. When asked, the Head estimates that this occurs about 50% of the time. She confirms that they always ask for feedback and often make changes. There is no record of feedback in the design file for the course.
The auditor raises a nonconformity against ISO 9001.
Which one of the following options is the basis for the nonconformity?
정답: Explanation:
Clause 8.3.4.d of ISO 9001:2015 requires that design and development validation be performed to ensure that the resulting products or services meet the requirements for their specified application or intended use. Validation is critical to confirm that the product works as intended in real-world conditions.
In this case, Noitol omitted the design validation step approximately 50% of the time, which is a direct violation of Clause 8.3.4.d. Although they collect feedback after the fact, this is not a substitute for formal validation before the product is released. The nonconformity arises because the process of validation was neglected, not the recording of improvements or feedback.
Other options, such as documenting improvements (A) or issues with planning verification (B), are important but do not directly address the primary concern: the lack of consistent design validation before product release.
Option D (8.6) concerns product release, but this nonconformity focuses on the validation stage, not just approval for release.

DRAG DROP
You, as auditor, are in dialogue with the quality lead and managing director of a small business that supplies specialist laboratory equipment and furniture.
You: "I'd like to look at how you manage change in the organisation.
What changes have you made as a business, say, over the last 12 months?"
Auditee: "We have made some strategic changes, the main one being that we no longer manufacture our
own products in house."
You: "That sounds like quite a significant change.
What has been the impact of that?"
Auditee: "We now mainly sell other manufacturers' products, under their brand names, and have outsourced manufacture of our own brand products to one of our suppliers. Unfortunately, we had to make six members of our staff redundant. This represents about 20% of our workforce, so this has been quite a challenging time."
You: "I'm sure.
What were the reasons for making the change?"
Auditee: "Our manufacturing section was a small operation, and we struggled to cope with fluctuations in demand. During busy periods, we found it hard to meet lead times, and in quiet periods we had staff with little to do. This was having an impact on customer satisfaction and meant we had to charge premium prices that made our product uncompetitive."
You: "How did you go about the change?"
In relation to the auditor's question about how the change was managed, the auditee mentions the steps listed below. Match the ISO 9001 clauses to the steps.
To complete the table, click on the blank section you want to complete so it is highlighted in red and then click on the ISO 9001 clauses listed below. Alternatively, drag and drop each clause to show which step the requirement applies to.
정답:
Explanation:
Here is the correct matching of ISO 9001:2015 clauses to the steps mentioned in the change management process:
We identified risks and opportunities and fed these into our risk management processes.
Clause 6.1 (Actions to address risks and opportunities)
We found a suitable supplier.
Clause 8.4 (Control of externally provided processes, products, and services)
We monitored customer feedback and noticed an increase in negative feedback about lead times. Clause 9.1.2 (Customer satisfaction)
We put together a plan for implementation.
Clause 6.2.2 (Planning to achieve quality objectives)
We monitored the performance of the new supplier.
Clause 8.4.2 (Type and extent of control of external providers)
We noticed that productivity targets were being missed.
Clause 9.1.1 (Monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation)
We communicated the plan internally.
Clause 7.4 (Communication)
We looked at the data at the management review and decided we needed to do something different. Clause 9.3.2 (Management review inputs)
We reorganised the staffing and implemented redundancies.
Clause 7.1.2 (People)
We set an objective to effectively implement the transition and outsource manufacturing.
Clause 6.2.1 (Quality objectives and planning to achieve them)
This aligns the steps of the change process with relevant ISO 9001:2015 clauses related to risk, planning, communication, and monitoring.
Question No : 15
Which two of the following work documents are not required for audit planning by an auditor conducting a certification audit?
