Scope of stage 1 certification audit

Can they ask you many questions?

Answer:

The purpose of the Stage 1 audit is to review the QMS documentation and determine whether it is compliant with requirements of the standard. There is no requirement to have quality objectives for every procedure. All process procedures are part of operational controls, different processes need to meet requirements of different clauses, for example, production process need to meet requirements of cause 8.5, purchasing process needs to meet requirements of clause 8.4, etc. I noticed that you are mixing processes and procedures and this is not the same thing, here is an article that might be interesting to you: ISO 9001:2015 process vs. procedure – Some practical examples https://adv isera.com/9001academy/blog/2016/01/19/iso-90012015-process-vs-procedure-some-practical-examples/

The organization needs to determine what should be monitored and measured, as well as the methods and frequency of monitoring and measuring activities. The standard does not explicitly requires that every process has monitoring and measuring but it can be beneficial in order to monitor performance of the processes.
