C9.2 – Internal audit
This policy outlines the approach to internal auditing as required by Clause 9.2 of ISO 9001:2015. It ensures that the organisation conducts regular internal audits to evaluate the effectiveness of the Quality Management System (QMS) and ensure compliance with ISO 9001:2015 requirements.
ISO 9001:2015 – Internal Audit
Clause 9.2 of ISO 9001:2015 requires organisations to establish an internal audit program to assess whether the QMS conforms to planned arrangements, ISO 9001 requirements, and the organisation’s own quality objectives. Internal audits must be conducted at planned intervals, using objective evidence to identify nonconformities, risks, and areas for improvement. The organisation must ensure that audit results are reported, corrective actions are taken, and continuous improvement opportunities are identified. By implementing an effective internal audit process, organisations can maintain compliance, enhance process efficiency, and drive ongoing improvements.
