IATF 16949:2016 Training

As stated in IATF 16949: 2016 standard 7.2.3 f) ‘’Maintenance of and improvement in internal auditor competence shall be demonstrated through f) executing a minimum number of audits per year, as defined by the organization ''.

The minimum number of internal audits to be performed should be determined by the organization. Performing 1 audit annually may be a risk for the knowledge and practice of internal auditors.

If such a situation is present, my advice is that you can develop the relevant internal auditor with internal training and can conduct its first audit with an experienced auditor. If you indicate these points that I recommend in your internal audit procedure, it will be effective for the system.
