Yeh, there in lies the issue, so many standards, so many certificaton bodies, so many accreditations, SO many places for confusion!

Don't forget that, afaik, the auditor has to provide an itemized  list of nonconformance justifications within the paragraph context of the Standard. IMO the logical time to challenge significant bones of contention is at the time of the audit, strangely a lot of people don't seem to do this. Unless you've clearly already achieved yr target result of course.

 

I argue every single non-conformance if i can :) its how we acheived our 1st A grade result in 5 years and of course my 1st year of control of the QMS that lead to this being atleast acheiveable :) 10 minors though so if i had not argued some of the points well............
