Report writing for certification

I hope your explanation and cooperation of this matter. Thank you.

Answer:
The number of auditors depends on the size of the company (how many employees), process/product complexity (whether there is sterilization, whether the product is being run in a clean room) and how many products should be audited. Besides, not every auditor covers all areas. So, some auditors may be only for QMS, while other auditors are specific only for some processes (eg sterilization). The certification body itself determines how many auditors they will send and how much report there will be.

We've received additional questions:

> 1. Hi, i need more further information about ISO 13485 report writing. How many report should be given to the client for one certificate ISO 13485?

Answer:
I assume that by „how many report should be given to the client for one certificate ISO 13485“ you mean how many reports certification body provide to the clinet after the certification audit is finished. If that was your question, than this is the answer to it.
-The number of reports depends on the Certification body rules. Some certification companies have one report, while others have two: Management Summary and List of findings.

If I missunderstand the question, can you please provide some clarification. Thank you in advance.

>2. Lead auditor must be responsible to prepare the report but, how about technical expert part?

Answer:
Lead auditor is responsible for preparing and finalizing the report. Technical expert fulfills only the part that is related to the area that he audited.

>3. Does it make sense if the audit and report (summary certification report) shall be covered by only one auditor?

Answer:
Yes, the audit report can be covered only by Lead auditor. He is responsible for it. But, if there is a Technical expert in the audit team, it should be mentioned somewhere in the report.
