What is Pre-assessment Audits ?

Allows a company to identify any non conformities and implement corrective actions before the registrar’s certification audit. The pre-assessment audit is necessary for a company to undergo before the full certification audit. After completion, it ensures a company is ready to proceed with the full certification audit. It can equally be described as a dress rehearsal for the real thing. On the day of the pre-assessment audit, the registrar comes to the organization or business location and performs an indebt review of a company’s compliance with each element of the standard. Any non conformities or observations are provided to the company or business in the pre-assessment audit report. A pre-assessment audit can be described to be a complete audit of the quality system to determine readiness for a certification audit by a registrar.
