Updating internal audit checklist to ISO 9001:2015

Due to clauses have changed, I will need to change Internal Audit questions . Can you direct me or guide me ,how to create new questions for internal audits for every clause in ISO 9001:2015 .

Answer:

The clause numbers are not the only thing that changed, basically every clause and every requirements suffered at least some small change, so the internal audit checklist should be updated to reflect all these changes.

Depending on the way of how your existing checklist looks like, you will need to take ISO 9001:2015 text and identify all requirements in it and then to insert them in the checklist. A lot of existing questions in the checklist will remain but also a lot of them will need to be changed and added. You will need to exclude some of the questions, for example regarding some no longer mandatory documents, management representative, etc. and to add some new ones regarding context of the organization, risks and opportunities, etc.

All these ca n be a big effort and time-consuming, just to make a checklist. I would suggest you to take a look at free preview of our ISO 9001:2015 Internal Audit Checklist because it can really save you a lot of time and effort, you can find it on this link https://advisera.com/9001academy/documentation/internal-audit-checklist/
