Prepare for an ISO 9001 surveillance audit

Internal audits, actions and records ready before the certification body arrives.

1. Check internal audits were done to plan
2. Close open corrective actions or show progress. Most people forget this: Old actions left open are what auditors raise first
3. Check calibration records for measuring tools
4. Check training records match the skills matrix
5. Hold the management review and keep minutes (Managing director signs off)
6. Book rooms and staff for the audit days
7. Answer any non conformities within the deadline
