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 oll 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 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.
Which of the following options for the best description of the nonconformity?

• A. The untested product was not recalled until the galvanic efficiency of the anodes was verified.
• B. Release of the product without acceptable test results has been accepted by the customer for Project DK.
• C. Products for Project DK have been released before product approval through the quality control process.
• D. A retrospective concession was not sought from the customer once the test results had been approved by the Quality Manager.

An audit team leader arrives at a printing organisation to carry out a Stage 2 audit for a certification body. At a meeting with the Quality Manager, she is told that they have won their biggest contract from a computer manufacturer to print and compile computer documentation packages. They have leased the unit next door for space reasons but have never worked in this sector before. The Quality Manager wants the ISO 9001 certificate to cover the new contract.
Which one of the options is the correct response by the auditor?

• A. Would you mind writing to my programme manager with this request?
• B. Would you like a separate certificate for the IT packages to show your new client?
• C. Do you realise that this involves an extension to the scope of the audit and will require an application process?
• D. How can we audit this area when we do not have an IT specialist in the team?

You are an auditor from a construction company who is conducting a second-party audit to ISO 9001 at a steel rolling mill producing structural steelwork. When auditing the rolling process, you find that the operator who is unloading the furnace does not use the adjacent infrared pyrometer to measure the appropriate product temperature in readiness for the next production stage.
You: "How do you tell when the billet is ready for the rolling stage?"
Operator: "I've done this job for 20 years. I can tell by the bright red colour." You: "What happens if the colour is wrong?" Operator: "The billet goes back into the furnace." You: "Is the pyrometer ever used?" Operator: "Only in borderline cases." Select the two checkpoints you should investigate further in the situation.

• A. How are finished products measured for accuracy?
• B. How is the unloading process controlled and managed?
• C. What input does a customer have to the operating process?
• D. What are the qualifications of the process design staff?
• E. What risks and opportunities have been identified as significant?
• F. What training does an operator need for the unloading task?
