For ex: In our organization, I am the quality manager/primary person for QMS. I have been trained for internal auditor along with 3 other colleagues?
Is it expected from the the rest 3 auditors to have the same extent of knowledge that I have?

Answer:

Management representative (MR) is no longer a mandatory role in the QMS (Quality Management System) so the standard does not have any requirements regarding the management representative. But considering the roles and responsibilities the MR, he or she should have knowledge of the standard requirements and also knowledge of the organization's operations and processes.

Auditors should be familiar with requirements of the standard and the auditing techniques but the same type of training is sufficient for the MR as well. There are no differences in competence requirements but there are differences in responsibilities and authorities between these two role s.
