QPS 9.2-01 Internal Audit

Description

The key internal audit requirements of ISO 9001:2026 are implemented in this documented procedure, based on the best field experience. Our Templates were reviewed and approved by experienced ISO 9001 quality auditors.

The specification defines the responsibilities of the Quality Manager and Lead Auditor for planning, conducting, and reporting internal audits — including, new in this edition, verification of the monitoring and minimization of environmental and climate-change impact across QMS processes.

Who Needs This Procedure

This procedure is for organizations implementing ISO 9001:2026 that need a documented approach to internal auditing — from drawing up the Annual Audit Program and forming the audit team, through audit preparation and conducting, to the final Audit Report and follow-up on corrective actions.

Internal audit findings and improvement suggestions feed directly into QPS 9.3-01 Management Review, where Top Management reviews QMS performance — customers who buy this procedure often need that one too. Audits also now verify the environmental and climate-change impact controls defined in QPS 10.1-01 Environmental Impact Monitoring.
