This document defines requirements for the preparation and execution of the audit
process. In addition, it defines the content and composition for the audit reporting
of conformity and process effectiveness to the EN 9100-series standards, the organization’s QMS documentation, and customer and statutory/regulatory

and guidelines in the standards for conformity assessment, auditing, and certification
as published by ISO/IEC (i.e. ISO/IEC 17000:2020, ISO/IEC 17021‑1). When there is conflict with these standards, the requirements of this document
take precedence.
