I have a question regarding 2nd party audits. I am Quality Assurance Manager. I fully manage internal audit program for last 15 years. I attended and successfully completed Internal Auditor training where obtained Internal audit certificate for ISO9001:2015, AS9100D, IATF16949:2016 from QPS Institute and IATF16949:2016 Quality Management System Auditor Training including AIAG Core Tools provided by IATF Certified Lead Auditor.
Can I conduct 2nd party audits, or I must attend special lead internal audit training and obtain Lead Internal audit certificate?

If a customer-specific requirement is not defined by your customer; the training you received is enough for you to do second-party audits.
Note: Generally German customers (Daimler, Volkswagen,..) require the VDA 6.3 process audit approach to supplier audits, therefore customer-specific requirements should be taken into account.
