PECB Exam ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Topic 2 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for PECB's ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor exam
Question #: 19
Topic #: 2
[All ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Questions]

Noitol is an organisation specialising in the design and production of e-learning training materials for the insurance market. During an ISO 9001 audit

of the development department, the auditor asks the Head of Development about the process used for validation of the final course design. She states that they usually ask customers to validate the product with volunteers. She says that the feedback received often leads to key improvements.

The auditor samples the design records for a recently completed course for the 247 Insurance organisation. Design verification was carried out but there was no validation report. The Head of Development advises that this customer required the product on an urgent basis, so the validation stage

was omitted. When asked, the Head estimates that this occurs about 50% of the time. She confirms that they always ask for feedback and often make changes. There is no record of feedback in the design file for the course.

The auditor raises a nonconformity against ISO 9001. Which one of the following options is the basis for the nonconformity?

Haha, I bet the Head of Development was sweating bullets during that audit! 'Urgent basis' my foot, they just wanted to cut corners. C is definitely the right answer here.

This is a tricky one. While C seems like the obvious answer, I'm curious about the humorous comment you mentioned. Any chance you could share that with us?

That makes sense, but I still think option C is more relevant because design validation is not always conducted.

I disagree, I believe it's option A because improvements made to course designs should be documented.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The question mentions that they always ask for feedback and often make changes, so I'm leaning towards A as the correct answer.

I think the correct answer is C. The auditor clearly stated that the validation stage was omitted about 50% of the time, which is a direct violation of the ISO 9001 requirement for design validation.

That's correct. The nonconformity is based on the fact that design validation is not consistently carried out as required by ISO 9001.

Design validation is not always conducted. It is omitted about half of the time.
