質問 # 47
XYZ Corporation is an organisation that employs 100 people. As audit team leader, you are conducting a certification audit at Stage 1. When reviewing the quality management system (QMS) documentation, you find that quality objectives have been set for every employee in the organisation except top management.
The Quality Manager complains that this has created a lot of resistance to the QMS, and the Chief Executive is asking questions about how much it will cost. He asks for your opinion on whether this is the correct method of setting objectives.
Three months after Stage 1, you return to XYZ Corporation to conduct a Stage 2 certification audit as Audit Team Leader with one other auditor. You find that the Quality Manager has cancelled the previous quality objectives for all employees and replaced them with a single objective for himself. This states that "The Quality Manager will drive multiple improvements in the QMS in the next year". The Quality Manager indicates that this gives him the authority to issue instructions to department managers when quality improvement is needed. He says that this approach has the full backing of senior management. He shows you the latest Quality Improvement Request that was included in the last management review.
After further auditing, the issues below were found. Select two statements that apply to the term
`nonconformity'.
- A. Limited knowledge of the content of Quality Improvement Requests by departmental staff.
- B. Quality improvements not aligning with the quality policy.
- C. Decisions on improvement action timescales not involving departmental managers.
- D. Top management claim not to be aware of the improvement request (QI/12/20/HR-3) initiated by the Quality Manager.
- E. Evaluation of the results of the improvement action not always documented by the Quality Manager.
- F. No quality objectives planned for the top management team
正解：B、F
解説：
According to the ISO 9001:2015 standard, clause 10.2.1 defines nonconformity as the non-fulfilment of a requirement. A requirement can be related to the quality management system, the products and services, the customer expectations, or the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Nonconformities can be detected through various sources, such as audits, inspections, tests, customer complaints, or internal reviews.
Nonconformities must be addressed by taking appropriate actions to correct them and prevent their recurrence.
In this scenario, the auditee has shown several issues that indicate nonconformities in their quality management system. Two statements that apply to the term nonconformity are:
A: No quality objectives planned for the top management team: According to ISO 9001, clause 6.2.1, the organization must establish quality objectives at relevant functions, levels, and processes. The quality objectives must be consistent with the quality policy and the strategic direction of the organization. The top management team is responsible for providing leadership and direction for the quality management system and ensuring its alignment with the organization's purpose and context. Therefore, the absence of quality objectives for the top management team is a nonconformity as it violates the requirement of clause 6.2.1.
E: Quality improvements not aligning with the quality policy: According to ISO 9001, clause 5.2.1, the quality policy is a statement of the organization's intentions and direction regarding quality, as formally expressed by top management. The quality policy must provide a framework for setting quality objectives and be compatible with the context and strategic direction of the organization. The quality policy must also be communicated, understood, and applied within the organization. Therefore, if the quality improvements are not aligned with the quality policy, it is a nonconformity as it violates the requirement of clause 5.2.1.

解説：
According to the ISO 9001:2015 standard, clause 6.2.1 requires organizations to establish quality objectives at relevant functions, levels, and processes needed for the quality management system. The quality objectives must be consistent with the quality policy and the strategic direction of the organization. The quality objectives must also be measurable, monitored, communicated, and updated as appropriate.
In this scenario, the Quality Manager of XYZ Corporation has set quality objectives for every employee in the organization except top management. This has created a lot of resistance to the QMS, and the Chief Executive is asking questions about the cost and the method of setting objectives. The Quality Manager asks for your opinion as an auditor on whether this is the correct method of setting objectives.
As an auditor, you cannot provide advice to the organization on how it should operate its QMS. Your role is to assess the conformity and effectiveness of the QMS against the requirements of the standard and the organization's own policies and objectives. Therefore, you should respond with the following options:
B: Advise the Quality Manager to read the ISO 9001 standard and interpret in relation to the organization's requirements: You can suggest that the Quality Manager should familiarize himself with the requirements of clause 6.2.1 and understand how they apply to his organization. He should also consider the context and the needs and expectations of interested parties when setting quality objectives. He should ensure that the quality objectives are aligned with the quality policy and the strategic direction of the organization.
C: Advise the Quality Manager that you will raise an opportunity for improvement if the quality objectives are not addressed properly: You can inform the Quality Manager that you will evaluate the quality objectives during the audit and check whether they meet the requirements of clause 6.2.1. If you find any gaps or weaknesses in the quality objectives, you will raise an opportunity for improvement to help the organization improve its QMS. You will also verify whether the quality objectives are monitored, communicated, and updated as appropriate.
D: Inform the Quality Manager that you will comment on the subject in your audit report: You can inform the Quality Manager that you will document your findings and observations on the quality objectives in your audit report. You will also provide a summary of the audit results and any recommendations for improvement.
You will also indicate the level of conformity and effectiveness of the QMS.
These three options would help you to maintain your impartiality and professionalism as an auditor and to provide constructive feedback to the organization
質問 # 49
You are conducting an audit at an organisation seeking certification to ISO 9001 for the first time. The organisation offers health and safety training to customers. Training courses are offered either as open courses, delivered at a public venue, or online, or as courses that are tailored to meet specific requirements.
The business operates from a single office and those who deliver the training are either full-time employees or subcontractors.
You have gathered audit evidence as outlined below. Match the ISO 9001 Clause 8 extract to the audit evidence.
正解：

These mappings reflect the specific requirements of ISO 9001:2015 for managing external providers, retaining documented information, and reviewing contracts.
質問 # 50
A Health Trust has contracted with Servitup, a catering services organisation which has been certified to ISO
9001 for 1 year. It provides services to ten, small rural
hospitals in remote locations involving purchase and storage of dry goods and fresh produce, preparing meals and loading heated trolleys for ward service by hospital staff. An auditor is conducting the first sole surveillance audit at one site with the Deputy Catering Manager (DCM).
At the closing meeting attended solely by the DCM, the auditor informs him that he has found numerous gaps in the QMS processes which lead him to consider recommending suspension of the organisation's certification. He is particularly concerned with the evidence that patient health is being adversely affected by produce stored beyond its safe consumption date, poor kitchen hygiene and undercooked meals. The DCM says that he cannot make any decisions about these issues in the absence of the Catering Manager due to illness but will write everything down and report to the Catering Manager.
Which two actions should you take in the context of the audit?
- A. Continue with the meeting, present the audit conclusions and inform the DCM that the organisation will receive the audit report in due course.
- B. Close the meeting immediately after the DCM's response and advise that the issues will be addressed at the next surveillance visit.
- C. Call the individual(s) managing the audit programme to explain the situation and recommend immediate suspension of certification to protect the integrity of the Certification Body.
- D. Conclude the meeting early and advise that it will be rescheduled once the Catering Manager has returned to work.
- E. Recommend that all personnel should be given urgent in-depth training in the QMS.
- F. Thank the DCM for his time and express an expectation that improvements will be made in the QMS.
正解：A、C
解説：
The actions that should be taken in the context of the audit are:
*Option B: Call the individual(s) managing the audit programme to explain the situation and recommend immediate suspension of certification to protect the integrity of the Certification Body. This option is correct because the auditor has found serious and significant gaps in the QMS processes that affect the health and safety of the patients, which is a major nonconformity that may warrant suspension of certification. The auditor should inform the individual(s) managing the audit programme of the situation and the audit findings, and recommend immediate suspension of certification to protect the integrity of the Certification Body and the credibility of the certification scheme. The auditor should also follow the Certification Body's procedures and rules for suspension of certification and communicate the decision and the consequences to the auditee.
*Option C: Continue with the meeting, present the audit conclusions and inform the DCM that the organisation will receive the audit report in due course. This option is correct because the auditor should not terminate or postpone the closing meeting due to the absence of the Catering Manager, as the DCM is the auditee's nominated representative for the audit. The auditor should continue with the meeting, present the audit conclusions and the audit findings, and inform the DCM that the organisation will receive the audit report in due course. The auditor should also explain the audit outcome recommendation and the suspension of certification, and request the DCM to acknowledge the receipt and understanding of the audit results.
The following options are not correct:
*Option A: Close the meeting immediately after the DCM's response and advise that the issues will be addressed at the next surveillance visit. This option is not correct because the auditor should not close the meeting without presenting the audit conclusions and the audit findings, as this would violate the audit principles of fairness and transparency. The auditor should also not advise that the issues will be addressed at the next surveillance visit, as this would imply that the auditor is accepting the auditee's delay and inaction, and that the auditor is not taking the major nonconformity seriously.
*Option D: Conclude the meeting early and advise that it will be rescheduled once the Catering Manager has returned to work. This option is not correct because the auditor should not conclude the meeting early or reschedule it due to the absence of the Catering Manager, as this would disrupt the audit process and the audit schedule. The auditor should also not wait for the Catering Manager to return to work, as this would delay the communication and resolution of the major nonconformity, and potentially compromise the health and safety of the patients.
*Option E: Recommend that all personnel should be given urgent in-depth training in the QMS. This option is not correct because the auditor should not recommend or prescribe specific corrective actions to the auditee, as this would violate the audit principles of independence and objectivity. The auditor should only report the audit findings and the audit outcome recommendation, and leave the responsibility and authority for determining and implementing the corrective actions to the auditee.
*Option F: Thank the DCM for his time and express an expectation that improvements will be made in the QMS. This option is not correct because the auditor should not thank the DCM for his time and express an expectation that improvements will be made in the QMS, as this would imply that the auditor is satisfied and optimistic with the auditee's performance and response, and that the auditor is not taking the major nonconformity seriously. The auditor should instead express the concern and dissatisfaction with the auditee's QMS processes and the impact on the health and safety of the patients, and communicate the suspension of certification and the need for urgent and effective corrective actions.

質問 # 51
You are conducting a third-party audit to ISO 9001 and the next item on your audit plan is 'internal auditing'.
When reviewing a sample of audit records up to 5 years previously, you find that many contain non-conformance reports and no actions have been taken. You interview the Quality Manager.
You: "I have noted that many of the older files contain non-conformances that have not had any corrective action taken." Quality Manager: "Because the business is always changing, the departmental managers tell me that the non-conformances are no longer applicable. I made a decision that any non-conformance over 3 years old is automatically closed" You: "Do you obtain any confirmation beforehand from the appropriate departments that the non-conformances are no longer applicable." Quality Manager: " No, because they are so old I consider that they are no longer appropriate. Please remember that we take a risk-based approach which means we audit where and when it is considered important to do so.
Select one course of action you would now take from the options.
- A. Interview Top management to determine whether they were aware of and agreed the actions of the Quality Manager
- B. Review all non-conformances reports related to clause 9.2 of ISO 9001
- C. Raise a non-conformance report against clause 9.2.2.e of ISO 9001
- D. Interview relevant Departmental managers to assess whether the older non-conformances are still valid.
正解：C
解説：
According to ISO 9001:2015, clause 9.2.2.e, the organization is required to retain documented information as evidence of the implementation of the audit programme and the audit results. This includes the records of the nonconformities identified during the internal audits and the corrective actions taken to address them. The organization is also required to verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions, as per clause 10.2.2.
Therefore, in the scenario given, the Quality Manager's decision to automatically close any nonconformance over 3 years old without obtaining any confirmation from the relevant departments or verifying the effectiveness of the corrective actions is a clear violation of the requirements of clause 9.2.2.e. This indicates a lack of control and follow-up of the internal audit process, as well as a potential risk of recurrence or occurrence of the nonconformities in other areas. This also undermines the credibility and value of the internal audit programme, as well as the risk-based approach claimed by the Quality Manager.
Hence, the best course of action to take is D, to raise a nonconformance report against clause 9.2.2.e of ISO
9001, and to communicate the audit findings to the relevant management. The other options are either insufficient or irrelevant to address the issue, as they do not directly relate to the noncompliance with clause
9.2.2.e.

質問 # 52
Select which one of the following statements is true.
- A. Audits leading to auditor qualification are undertaken annually.
- B. A technical expert can replace a qualified auditor on an audit team.
- C. The team leader shall be an auditor that is qualified in the scheme.
- D. An audit team can include non-qualified auditors.
正解：C
解説：
According to the ISO 19011:2018 standard, which provides guidelines for auditing management systems, the team leader of an audit team should be an auditor who has demonstrated the competence to manage an audit of the relevant management system scheme. This means that the team leader should have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience to plan, conduct, report, and follow-up an audit of the specific management system, such as ISO 9001 for quality management systems. The other options are false because: B. An audit team can include non-qualified auditors, but only as observers or trainees who do not contribute to the audit findings or conclusions. C. A technical expert can assist a qualified auditor on an audit team, but cannot replace them, as a technical expert does not have the competence to perform audits. D. Audits leading to auditor qualification are not undertaken annually, but rather as part of a certification process that involves meeting certain criteria, such as education, work experience, audit experience, and examination.

質問 # 53
Noitol is an organisation specialising in the design and production of e-learning training materials for the insurance market. During an ISO 9001 audit of the development department, the auditor asks the Head of Development about the process used for validation of the final course design. She states that they usually ask customers to validate the product with volunteers. She says that the feedback received often leads to key improvements.
The auditor samples the design records for a recently completed course for the 247 Insurance organisation.
Design verification was carried out but there was no validation report. The Head of Development advises that this customer required the product on an urgent basis, so the validation stage was omitted. When asked, the Head estimates that this occurs about 50% of the time. She confirms that they always ask for feedback and often make changes. There is no record of feedback in the design file for the course.
The auditor decides to review the training course design process in more depth.
Select three options that provide a meaningful audit trail for this process.
- A. How is the cost of the course calculated?
- B. How is the tutor trained to deliver the completed course?
- C. How are students advised about prior learning requirements?
- D. How is customer feedback integrated into the course?
- E. What risks and opportunities have been notified to interested parties?
- F. How is design documentation controlled and managed?
- G. What are the qualifications of the administrative staff?
- H. How is technical content of courses verified as correct?
正解：D、F、H
解説：
According to clause 8.3 of ISO 9001:2015, the organization should establish, implement, and maintain a design and development process that is appropriate to ensure the subsequent provision of products and services. The design and development process should include the following activities:
*Determining the requirements for the products and services to be designed and developed, considering the intended use, the statutory and regulatory requirements, the customer and other relevant interested parties' needs and expectations, and the potential risks and opportunities.
*Defining the design and development objectives, stages, responsibilities, and authorities, and ensuring the availability of adequate resources and competence.
*Implementing design and development controls, such as reviews, verification, and validation, to ensure that the design and development outputs meet the design and development inputs, and to identify and resolve any problems or errors.
*Maintaining documented information on the design and development inputs, outputs, reviews, verification, validation, and changes, and ensuring the traceability and conformity of the products and services to the requirements.
*Managing the design and development changes, by identifying, reviewing, and controlling them, and evaluating their effects on the products and services and the QMS.
In this case, the evidence statements that provide a meaningful audit trail for the design and development process are B, E, and F, because they relate to the design and development controls, the documented information, and the verification activities that are required by the standard. These options can help the auditor to assess the effectiveness and conformity of the design and development process, and to identify any nonconformities or opportunities for improvement. The other options are not directly related to clause 8.3, although they may be relevant for other aspects of the QMS, such as clause 7.2 on competence, clause 7.3 on awareness, clause 7.4 on communication, clause 8.2 on requirements for products and services, clause 8.4 on externally provided processes, products, and services, and clause 8.7 on control of nonconforming outputs.

Select the words that best complete the sentence:
正解：
解説：
Explanation:
According to the ISO 19011:2018 document, the audit plan should provide the basis for agreement regarding the conduct and scheduling of the audit activities. The amount of detail provided in the audit plan should reflect the scope and complexity of the audit, as well as the risk of not achieving the audit objectives1. The scope of the audit refers to the extent and boundaries of the audit, such as the audit criteria, the audit objectives, the organizational and functional units, and the processes to be audited1. The complexity of the audit refers to the degree of difficulty or intricacy of the audit, such as the number and diversity of the auditees, the audit criteria, the audit methods, and the audit team composition2. The risk of not achieving the audit objectives refers to the possibility that the audit may fail to provide reliable and sufficient audit evidence to support the audit conclusions and report1.
Therefore, the complete sentence is:
In the context of a third-party audit, the amount of detail provided in the audit plan should reflect the scope and complexity of the audit, as well as the risk of not achieving the audit objectives.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the management system: This objective involves verifying that the quality management system meets the requirements of a specific standard, such as ISO 9001:2015, and that it achieves the intended results and outcomes. The audit team will collect and analyse audit evidence to determine the degree of conformity and performance of the quality management system23.
*Evaluate the capability of the management system to establish and achieve objectives: This objective involves verifying that the quality management system supports the strategic direction and policies of the organization, and that it addresses the needs and expectations of the interested parties. The audit team will assess the suitability, adequacy, and alignment of the quality management system objectives, and the effectiveness of the planning and implementation processes to achieve them23.
The other options are not the most relevant objectives of a third-party audit, according to the web search results from my internal tool. They may be related to other aspects or types of audits, but they are not the focus of a third-party audit.
Therefore, the correct answer is B and D.

Evaluating against the audit criteria
According to ISO 19011:2018, clause 6.4, the process of collecting and verifying information during an audit involves the following steps1:
Identifying the source of information: The audit team should identify the sources of information that are relevant to the audit objectives, scope and criteria. These sources may include documents, records, personnel, processes, activities, facilities, equipment, etc. The audit team should also determine the methods and tools for accessing and collecting the information, such as interviews, observations, document review, sampling, etc.
Sampling available data: The audit team should select a representative sample of the available data to verify the conformity and effectiveness of the management system. The sample size and selection method should be based on the audit objectives, scope and criteria, as well as the level of confidence and risk. The audit team should also consider the validity, reliability, relevance and sufficiency of the data.
Gathering audit evidence: The audit team should use the methods and tools identified in the previous step to collect audit evidence, which is the records, statements of fact or other information that are relevant to the audit criteria and verifiable. The audit team should record the audit evidence in a clear, concise and objective manner, using notes, checklists, photographs, audio or video recordings, etc.
Verifying objective evidence: The audit team should verify the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of the audit evidence collected. This may involve cross-checking different sources of information, confirming the identity and authority of the persons providing the information, examining the original documents or records, etc. The audit team should also identify any discrepancies, inconsistencies or gaps in the audit evidence.
Evaluating evidence against the audit criteria: The audit team should compare the audit evidence with the audit criteria to determine the extent of conformity and nonconformity. The audit team should also identify any opportunities for improvement, best practices, positive aspects or potential risks. The audit team should use professional judgement and apply the principles of auditing when evaluating the audit evidence.
Making audit conclusions: The audit team should consolidate the audit findings and evaluate the overall performance and effectiveness of the management system. The audit team should also consider the audit objectives, scope and criteria, as well as the context and expectations of the auditee and other interested parties. The audit team should provide a clear, concise and objective statement of the audit conclusions, which may include the degree of conformity, the achievement of the intended outcomes, the need for corrective actions, the suitability for certification, etc.
Evaluating against the audit criteria: The audit team should review the audit conclusions and ensure that they are consistent with the audit criteria and supported by sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. The audit team should also ensure that the audit conclusions are communicated to the auditee and other relevant parties in a timely and effective manner, using the agreed audit report format and distribution method.

正解：
解説：
Explanation:
Establishing the audit programme objectives
Determining and evaluating the audit programme risks and opportunities
Establishing the audit programme
Initiating the audit
Preparing all audit activity
Conducting the audit activities
According to ISO 19011:2018, clause 5, the audit programme is a set of one or more audits planned for a specific time frame and directed towards a specific purpose. The audit programme includes all activities necessary to plan, organize, and conduct the audits. The audit programme management involves the following steps1:
Establishing the audit programme objectives: The audit programme objectives define the intended outcomes of the audit programme, such as verifying conformity, evaluating performance, identifying improvement opportunities, etc. The audit programme objectives should be aligned with the strategic direction and policies of the organization and the needs and expectations of the interested parties.
Determining and evaluating the audit programme risks and opportunities: The audit programme risks and opportunities are the factors that can affect the achievement of the audit programme objectives, such as changes in the internal or external context, availability of resources, competence of auditors, etc. The audit programme risks and opportunities should be identified, analyzed, and evaluated to determine the appropriate actions to address them.
Establishing the audit programme: The audit programme is established by defining the audit programme scope, criteria, methods, and resources. The audit programme scope defines the extent and boundaries of the audit programme, such as the processes, functions, sites, activities, etc. that will be audited. The audit programme criteria are the set of policies, procedures, or requirements used as a reference for the audits. The audit programme methods are the techniques used to conduct the audits, such as interviews, observations, document review, sampling, etc. The audit programme resources are the human, technical, and financial resources needed to implement the audit programme.
Initiating the audit: The audit initiation is the process of formally establishing the arrangements for an individual audit within the audit programme. The audit initiation involves contacting the auditee and the audit client, confirming the audit objectives, scope, and criteria, and obtaining the necessary information and access for the audit.
Preparing all audit activity: The audit preparation is the process of developing the audit plan and the audit work documents for an individual audit. The audit plan is a document that provides the basis for agreement regarding the conduct of the audit, such as the audit schedule, the audit team, the audit methods, the audit language, the audit report, etc. The audit work documents are the records that provide evidence of the audit activities, such as the audit checklist, the audit notes, the audit findings, etc.
Conducting the audit activities: The audit activities are the processes of collecting and verifying audit evidence and evaluating it against the audit criteria to make the audit conclusions. The audit activities include the opening meeting, the communication during the audit, the roles and responsibilities of the audit team and the auditee, the audit evidence collection and verification, the audit findings generation and recording, the closing meeting, and the audit report preparation and distribution.

質問 # 64
Which one of the following options is the definition of the context of an organisation?
- A. Complexity of internal and external issues that can have an effect on an organisation's approach to developing and achieving its purpose.
- B. Coordination of internal and external issues that can have a positive or negative effect on an organisation's success.
- C. Combination of internal and external issues that can have an effect on an organisation's approach to developing and achieving its objectives.
- D. Comparison of internal and external issues that can have an effect on an organisation's desire to achieve its objectives.
正解：C
解説：
Understanding "Context of the Organization":The term "context of the organization" is defined in ISO
9001:2015 Clause 4.1, which states:
"The organization shall determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and its strategic direction and that affect its ability to achieve the intended result(s) of its quality management system.
"
The definition emphasizes identifying both internal and external issues that influence the organization's approach to developing and achieving its objectives.
Option Analysis:
* Option A:Correct. This option aligns with the standard definition as it explicitly mentions the combination of internal and external issues that affect the organization's approach to achieving its objectives, which is the essence of Clause 4.1.
* Option B:Incorrect. The term "comparison of internal and external issues" does not reflect the ISO
9001 requirements. The standard does not require a comparison but rather an understanding of these issues.
* Option C:Incorrect. Although it mentions "complexity," the focus of ISO 9001:2015 is on identifying relevant issues rather than the complexity of those issues.
* Option D:Incorrect. This option mentions "coordination" and focuses only on the positive or negative effects. ISO 9001 requires identifying issues but does not emphasize coordination.
Clause Reference and Relevance:ISO 9001:2015 requires organizations to understand their context because internal and external factors can influence the Quality Management System's effectiveness. Understanding this context helps in:
* Addressing risks and opportunities (Clause 6.1).
* Aligning the QMS with the organization's strategic direction.
Why A is Correct:"Combination of internal and external issues" captures the essence of Clause 4.1, making it the accurate definition of the context of the organization.

質問 # 66
An audit team of three people is conducting a Stage 2 audit to ISO 9001 of an engineering organisation which manufactures sacrificial anodes for the oil and gas industry in marine environments. These are aluminium products designed to prevent corrosion of submerged steel structures. As one of the auditors, you 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 rarely fall below the required efficiency. You raise a nonconformity against clause 8.6 of ISO 9001.
During the audit team meeting in preparation for the Closing meeting, the second auditor disagreed with the clause of ISO 9001 selected for the above nonconformity. He thinks it should be clause 9.1.1.
Choose three options for how the audit team leader should best respond to the situation:
- A. Immediately overule the objection of the second auditor with no discussion of the clause.
- B. Advise that he will think about the clause and announce his decision during the Closing meeting.
- C. The audit team leader will refer to the quality manager to determine which clause they agree with.
- D. Immediately agree with the second auditor that clause 9.1.1 would be better.
- E. Try to obtain a consensus between you and the second auditor after a discussion of the different opinions.
- F. Suggest that neither clause is accurate and instead propose clause 9.1.3 as the best one for the nonconformity.
- G. Review the evidence with you and the second auditor, and then decide which clause of ISO 9001 would best apply.
- H. Invite you and the second auditor to fully explain your point of view and then decide which clause to select.
正解：E、G、H
解説：
As the audit team leader, it is crucial to manage differing opinions constructively and ensure that the correct clause is selected for the nonconformity based on solid evidence. Here's how the situation should be handled:
E:Invite you and the second auditor to fully explain your point of view and then decide which clause to select: This promotes collaboration and transparency, allowing both auditors to present their rationale for choosing the specific clause.
F: Review the evidence with you and the second auditor, and then decide which clause of ISO 9001 would best apply: Reviewing the evidence in relation to the specific requirements of ISO 9001 is essential for determining which clause is most appropriate.
H: Try to obtain a consensus between you and the second auditor after a discussion of the different opinions:
Consensus-building is a crucial skill for an audit team leader. Achieving agreement ensures the nonconformity is addressed accurately and with full team support.
Options such as overruling immediately (D) or deferring the decision without full discussion (B) could undermine team dynamics and the audit process. Consulting the quality manager (A) or selecting an entirely different clause (G) is unnecessary, as the team should resolve the issue internally.
質問 # 67
Which two of the following statements related to Stage 1 of an initial certification audit against ISO 9001:
2015 are true?
- A. Verifies the degrees of customer satisfaction
- B. Evaluates the conditions of all sites
- C. Evaluates the results of the last management review

- F. Verifies the compliance with legal requirements
- G. During the Stage 1 audit, the audit team:
正解：D、E
解説：
* Reviews the client's management system documented information: This activity involves checking the documentation of the quality management system, such as the quality policy, the quality objectives, the scope, the processes, and the procedures, to ensure that they meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2015123. The audit team also evaluates the client's understanding and implementation of the standard, and identifies any gaps or nonconformities that need to be addressed before the Stage 2 audit123.
*Reviews the processes with high level of risk: This activity involves assessing the processes that have a significant impact on the quality of the products or services, or that pose a high risk of nonconformity or customer dissatisfaction123. The audit team also verifies the client's risk management approach, and evaluates the effectiveness of the controls and actions taken to mitigate the risks123.
The other options are not statements that are true for the Stage 1 audit, according to the web search results from my internal tool. They may be related to other stages or types of audits, but they are not the focus of the Stage 1 audit.
Therefore, the correct answer is D and G.
