Answer:
I have one problem with your question: What is an audit observation? ISO 19011:2018 does not define what is an audit observation. So, I would ask your certification body how do they define audit observation and what kind of answer do they request, or not. For example, I am reading a certification body audit report where they include this statement in the audit report template: “The Observations are formulated with the purpose of improving the Management System and its effectiveness; do not require a response or notification from the Organization; and will be subject to re-evaluation in the next audit.”

The following material will provide you information about audits:
