PECB Exam ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Topic 4 Question 18 Discussion

Actual exam question for PECB's ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor exam

Question #: 18
Topic #: 4

An audit team leader arrives at a printing organisation to carry out a Stage 2 audit for a certification body. At a meeting with the Quality Manager, she is told that they have won their biggest contract from a computer

manufacturer to print and compile computer documentation packages. They have leased the unit next door for space reasons but have never worked in this sector before. The Quality Manager wants the ISO 9001

certificate to cover the new contract.

Which one of the options is the correct response by the auditor?

ADo you realise that this involves an extension to the scope of the audit and will require an application process?

BHow can we audit this area when we do not have an IT specialist in the team?

CWould you like a separate certificate for the IT packages to show your new client?

DWould you mind writing to my programme manager with this request?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When an organization wishes to extend the scope of their current certification to include new services or activities, such as the printing and compilation of computer documentation packages, it requires an extension to the scope of the audit.This involves a formal application process with the certification body to ensure that the new activities are included in the audit plan and that the organization's quality management system encompasses these new processes12.Reference: = The answer is based on the ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group guidance on scope and applicability, which outlines the need for a formal application process when there is a change in the scope of the quality management system that affects the certification1.Additionally, the UKAS guide on the extension to scope (ETS) process provides information on how changes to the scope, including the addition of new services, require a formal application2.

Option D? Really? Passing the buck to the programme manager? That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

I like Option C. A separate certificate would be a nice way to showcase their new capabilities to the computer manufacturer. Plus, it'll look great on their wall.

Hmm, Option B is not a great idea. How can you audit an area without the proper expertise? Might as well just wing it, right? *chuckles*

Option A is the correct response. Expanding the scope of the audit requires an application process to ensure the organization meets the necessary requirements.
