PECB ISO-9001-Lead-Auditor Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

You work as an external quality consultant for an organisation, “ABC”, which provides packaged food to the public. You are asked to lead a team (you as the leader and two other auditors) to audit an external provider, “XYZ”, which provides packaging materials to “ABC”. It is 4 pm, and the closing meeting was scheduled for 5 pm.

You, as the audit team leader, audited Top Management. You explain to the audit team that you identified two non-conformities:

a. There is no documented information on the results of Top Management Reviews, as required in clause 9.3 of ISO 9001:2015.

b. There is no evidence of Top Management commitment as required in clause 5.1 of ISO 9001:2015 (e.g., not ensuring the availability of resources to operate the QMS, not ensuring the establishment of objectives).

All agreed to present these two non-conformities, graded as major.

As the audit team leader, select the best option on how to handle the closing meeting.

Takitup is a small fabrication organisation that manufactures steel fencing, stairs and platforms for the construction sector. It has been certified to ISO 9001 for some time and has appointed a new Quality Manager. The audit plan during a surveillance audit covers the organisation's improvement actions and the auditor asks to see the most recent management review meeting minutes.

The auditor finds that the management review report records that none of the improvement actions set by the previous review has been realised for a second time. A new Quality Manager has been brought in at the middle management level to rectify the situation as the organisation is concerned that it might lose its certification.

Select three options that would provide evidence of conformance with clause 10.3 of ISO 9001.

An audit team of three people is conducting a Stage 2 audit to ISO 9001 of an engineering organisation that manufactures sacrificial anodes for the oil and gas industry in marine environments. These are aluminium products designed to prevent corrosion of submerged steel structures. You, as one of the auditors, find that the organisation has shipped anodes for Project DK in the Gulf of Mexico before the galvanic efficiency test results for the anodes have been fully analysed and reported as required by the customer. The Quality Manager explains that the Managing Director authorised the release of the anodes to avoid late delivery as penalties would be Imposed. The customer was not informed since the tests very rarely fall below the required efficiency. You raise a nonconformity against clause 8.6 of ISO 9001.

At the Closing meeting, the audit team leader presents the findings of the audit and comes to the above

nonconformity. The Quality Manager produces the test report for Project DK, which shows an acceptable galvanic efficiency, and presents an email from the customer confirming acceptance of the anodes. He asks that the nonconformity be withdrawn.

Which two of the following responses by the audit team leader would be acceptable?
