Interested parities and conformance evaluation

1. I think that having all the information in the appendix 1 “List of interested party” is enough to comply during the first audit about the identification of needs and expectations of interested party, is ok?

2. The appendix 2 “Conformance evaluation record” will be attached to the procedure and it will be useful until the company conduct a conformity evaluation with legal and other requirements. Your procedure recommend at least twice a year. I think this appendix will be a record maybe until the second audit to the QMS, is ok?

Answer:

1. Yes, once you identify interested parties and their needs and expectation, you are compliant with that requirement of the standard.

2. You need to run full cycle of the QMS in order to be ready for certification audit, but of course this depend mostly on the certification body. They might let you without conducting compliance evaluation but it is more usual that you need to perform all the activities of the QMS in order to be ready for the certification, this includes als o internal audit and management review.
