First of all, sorry for this confusion.
Please note that the Internal Audit Checklist included in the toolkit is divided into two sections - the first one for ISO 27001 and the second one for ISO 22301. To audit an ISO 27001 ISMS, you only need the questions in section one (they cover all needed questions to evaluate compliance with ISO 27001 mandatory clauses and applicable controls). There is no need to use or adapt questions related to ISO 22301.
Regarding questions for section 8 of ISO27001, they are the same applied to clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 (the identification of clauses 8.2 and 8.3 are included with clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 in the “Clause” column). You can find these questions on page one of the checklist.
Value of accurate measurement according to environment management regulation
The toolkit covers clause 8.1 (Operational planning and control) through all the policies and procedures you'll find in the toolkit in folder "08 Annex A".
By the way, in the root folder of your toolkit, you'll find a PDF document called "List of documents" where it is specified which document covers which clause of the standard.
To be in the medical device field, first, you need to have some medical background. For example: completed medical school, work experience in a hospital or other clinical institution, work experience in a medical device factory. In my opinion, without understanding what are the most important elements for medical device safety and performance is not possible to be in this field.
The benefit is if you have experience in regulatory business, to know how to read and understand different regulatory requirements, and so on. If you are on the market of EU, then knowledge of MDR is mandatory, and if you are from the US market then you need to know the FDA rules for medical device certification.
There are websites that offer some certifications for consultants, but even that certification is no guarantee that you fully understand the regulatory requirements. So without a lot of self-study of necessary regulations, there is no success in this business.
The only thing to keep in mind is that there are medical products and a syringe for giving injections, but also an artificial heart. So there is no consultant who has experience in all types of medical products. Some requirements are universal, but again each product has its own specifics that the consultant must take into account. So the mutual communication of the consultant is also important.
I assume that you are referring to the compliance to the data subject request to delete personal data.
Compliance with GDPR starts from a good privacy notice where it is clear how data subjects can exercise their rights. It may be implemented by a reply to the data subject's request to exercise its rights, where the data controller explains how the data subject request is handled and the confirmation that the request has been accepted or denied. Of course, the delation of data will refer to data that are processed under consent on a legal basis. If some personal data are necessary to be processed under another legal basis, then the data controller will have the right to keep those data and process for that purpose. For example, the data controller may need to keep the name and some personal information of the data subject to fulfill the obligation on invoicing. You should keep a register of data subjects' requests in order to demonstrate compliance with the obligation of assuring the rights of data subjects.
Here you can find more information about how to handle data subjects rights:

If your customers will be direct OEMs (For example Ford, GM, Daimler, VW, etc.), you should discuss the product tests with your customer and consider the technical drawing of the product. But if your customer is going to be the market, duplicating the OEM part and putting it on the market is an "aftermarket" job.
The IATF 16949:2016 standard has excluded the aftermarket.
Therefore, you can know what kind of tests are required only by learning what the original product tests are.
Only the "Statement of Acceptance of ISMS Documents" is not enough to be compliant with ISO 27001 requirements related to competence (clause 7.2) and awareness (clause 7.3).
You will also need information regarding actions taken to provide the necessary competence/awareness (e.g., reading of the documentation, awareness presentation, etc.), and evaluation of actions effectiveness (e.g., questions about the presented documentation).
For those, you can use the Training and Awareness Plan template included in your toolkit, in folder 9 Training and Awareness. Both “Training and Awareness Plan” and "Statement of Acceptance of ISMS Documents" will be sufficient to evidence awareness about the documentation.
This article will provide you a further explanation about awareness and training:

This probably depends most on whether the PRRC is within the company, in the same place where the batch release takes place, or is dislocated. If the PRRC is dislocated, one of the simpler ways is that batch release records can be sent to him via email and then he can confirm by email that he complies.
First of all, sorry for this confusion.
This is only different writing of the methodology name. The approach is the same regardless of the order of its elements. The results will be the same, because the risk calculation is based on sum or multiplication, which result is independent of the order of elements.
