質問 # 44
You are conducting a third-party Stage 1 audit at ABC Ltd, a single-site organisation that manufactures wooden furniture. You interview the Technical Director to learn more about the organisation. The Technical Director explains that they have had a successful year and that obtaining ISO 9001 certification will support the further growth of the business. You ask for an overview of the organisation's structure and its interrelationships with external interested parties.
The Technical Director shows you a document detailing all business processes and interrelationships. You notice in this document that another organisation called Teak Ltd manufactures wooden furniture on behalf of ABC Ltd. The Technical Director confirms this capability has been accounted for in the scope of the quality management system. You learn that the furniture manufactured by Teak Ltd has accounted for 40% of the sales revenue over the previous 12 months.
Which two of the following options best describe how you would plan the audit of the interrelationship with Teak Ltd during the Stage 2 audit at ABC Ltd?

• A. Verify whether the design processes of Teak Ltd comply with ISO 9001
• B. Verify how ABC Ltd evaluates the performance of Teak Ltd
• C. Verify the controls concerning customer property implemented by Teak Ltd
• D. Verify Teak Ltd supply arrangements as described in the ABC Ltd quality management system
• E. Verify if Teak Ltd are certified to ISO 9001
• F. Verify the quality management system at Teak Ltd by conducting an audit at their site

正解：B、D

解説：
According to ISO 9001:2015, clause 8.4, an organization is required to control the processes, products and services provided by external providers, including those that affect the quality of the organization's own products and services. This includes determining the controls to be applied to the external provision of processes, products and services, as well as the information to be communicated to the external providers. The organization is also required to monitor, measure, and evaluate the performance of the external providers and retain documented information of these activities.
Therefore, in the scenario given, ABC Ltd is responsible for controlling the processes, products and services provided by Teak Ltd, as they affect the quality of ABC Ltd's own products and services. This means that ABC Ltd should have established criteria and methods for evaluating the performance of Teak Ltd, as well as documented information of the results of such evaluation. ABC Ltd should also have defined the supply arrangements with Teak Ltd, including the specifications, requirements, and verification activities related to the products and services provided by Teak Ltd.
Hence, the best options to describe how to plan the audit of the interrelationship with Teak Ltd during the Stage 2 audit at ABC Ltd are A and D, as they are aligned with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, clause
8.4. The other options are either irrelevant or beyond the scope of the audit, as they do not pertain to the control of external provision by ABC Ltd.

質問 # 48
The following actions need to be carried out during a third-party audit planning stage. Which two actions correspond to the individual(s) managing the audit program before the involvement of the audit team leader'

• A. Provide the resources needed
• B. Prepare the audit plan
• C. Select the audit team members
• D. Assign responsibilities within the audit team
• E. Review the reports of previous audits
• F. Prepare the checklists

正解：A、E

解説：
In ISO 9001:2015, the responsibility for managing the audit program lies with those overseeing the entire audit process rather than the Audit Team Leader. During the planning stage, before involving the Audit Team Leader, key actions for managing the audit program include:
1. Providing the Resources Needed: According to clause 7.1 (Resources), the audit program manager must ensure that the necessary resources are in place to conduct the audit effectively. This encompasses logistical support, personnel, and other required resources for the audit to proceed smoothly.
2. Reviewing Reports of Previous Audits: As per clause 9.2.2 (Internal Audit), it is essential to consider the results of previous audits to plan effectively for the upcoming audit. This helps identify areas that require particular attention, ensuring continuity and focusing on recurring issues or improvements since the last audit.
These actions ensure that the audit is thoroughly prepared and that there is continuity and focus on any areas that might need closer inspection. The other options, such as preparing the audit plan, assigning responsibilities, preparing checklists, and selecting the audit team members, generally fall under the duties of the Audit Team Leader once they are appointed and engaged in the planning process.

質問 # 50
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. Quality improvements not aligning with the quality policy.
• B. Decisions on improvement action timescales not involving departmental managers.
• C. No quality objectives planned for the top management team
• D. Limited knowledge of the content of Quality Improvement Requests by departmental staff.
• E. Top management claim not to be aware of the improvement request (QI/12/20/HR-3) initiated by the Quality Manager.
• F. Evaluation of the results of the improvement action not always documented by the Quality Manager.

正解：A、C

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.

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
To complete the sequence, you can drag and drop the options to the appropriate blank section.
Here is a brief explanation of each stage:
Establishing the audit programme objectives: This is the first stage of the audit process, where the purpose, scope, and criteria of the audit programme are defined. The audit programme objectives should be aligned with the strategic direction and policies of the organization, and should address the needs and expectations of the interested parties12.
Determining and evaluating the audit programme risks and opportunities: This is the second stage of the audit process, where the factors that can affect the achievement of the audit programme objectives are identified and assessed. The audit programme risks and opportunities should consider the internal and external issues, the requirements and changes of the interested parties, and the results and feedback from previous audits12.
Establishing the audit programme: This is the third stage of the audit process, where the audit programme is designed and implemented. The audit programme should include the audit programme procedures, the audit programme resources, the audit methods and techniques, the audit frequency and schedule, and the audit programme performance indicators12.
Initiating the audit: This is the fourth stage of the audit process, where the audit is prepared and planned. The audit initiation involves selecting the audit team, establishing the contact with the auditee, defining the audit objectives, scope, and criteria, developing the audit plan, and conducting the document review123.
Preparing all audit activity: This is the fifth stage of the audit process, where the audit activities are organized and coordinated. The audit preparation involves assigning the audit tasks, communicating with the auditee and the audit team, arranging the logistics, preparing the working documents, and conducting the opening meeting123.
Conducting the audit activities: This is the sixth and final stage of the audit process, where the audit evidence is collected and evaluated. The audit conduct involves performing the audit activities, such as interviews, observations, document reviews, and tests, documenting the audit findings, preparing the audit conclusions, and conducting the closing meeting123.

質問 # 52
In the context of a third-party audit, match the activity with the party responsible in relation to the audit process.

正解：

解説：

Explanation:
In the context of a third-party audit, the activities and the parties responsible can be matched as follows:
* Review the organization's processes: This is typically the responsibility of the audit team. They examine the processes to ensure they comply with the specified standards1.
* Review the audit results: The audit team leader usually reviews the audit findings to ensure accuracy and completeness before they are finalized1.
* Issue the certificate: The certification body is responsible for issuing the certificate if the audit is successful and the organization meets the required standards1.
* Select the audit team: The individual(s) managing the audit programme are responsible for selecting the audit team. This ensures that the team has the appropriate skills and knowledge for the audit1.
These roles are essential to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the audit process. The audit team conducts the actual audit, the team leader oversees the audit process, the certification body grants the certification, and the management of the audit program ensures that the right team is in place to conduct the audit1.
Based on the description of the image you've provided, here's how the activities match with the responsible parties in the context of a third-party audit:
* Review the organization's processes: This activity is typically the responsibility of the Audit Team.
They are tasked with examining the processes to ensure they meet the requirements of the standard being audited.
* Review the audit results: The Audit Team Leader is usually responsible for this activity. They oversee the audit process and are in charge of reviewing the findings and ensuring that the audit objectives are met.
* Issue the certificate: The Certification Body is responsible for issuing the certificate if the organization's management system is found to be in compliance with the standard.
* Select the audit team: The Individual(s) managing the audit programme are responsible for selecting the audit team. They ensure that the team has the appropriate competence and resources to effectively conduct the audit.
These roles are defined within the framework of ISO 9001:2015 and are essential for the proper conduct of a third-party audit. The audit team and its leader play a critical role in the operational aspects of the audit, while the certification body and those managing the audit programme have overarching responsibilities for the audit' s governance and integrity.

質問 # 53
During an internal audit, it was discovered that the calibration of a spectrometer used daily for production had expired, causing a nonconformance under Clause 7.1.5.2 of ISO 9001:2015. The root cause was the organization not considering the risk of the calibration provider leaving the country.
Which corrective action is the best one?

• A. We will have the results on one out of ten of our routine production samples double-checked by an external local laboratory.
• B. We will select one sample, which we will send to an external laboratory and will use it as our internal standard.
• C. We will look for a local company to provide this service.
• D. We will add this to our external issue register, assess its associated risk, and plan action to address that risk.

正解：D

解説：
* Understanding Clause 7.1.5.2 - Measurement Traceability:ISO 9001:2015 requires organizations to ensure that measuring equipment (e.g., spectrometers) is calibrated and traceable to recognized standards. The failure to maintain calibration within valid dates directly violates this clause and raises concerns about the reliability of the measurement results.
* Root Cause of the Nonconformity:The organization failed to plan for the possibility that the calibration service provider (X-TECH) might become unavailable, leading to expired calibration. This indicates inadequate risk-based thinking, which is required under Clause 6.1 of ISO 9001:2015.
* Option Analysis:
* A. Select one sample for external lab analysis to use as an internal standard:Incorrect. While using an internal standard could provide short-term verification of results, this action does not address the root cause (failure to consider risks associated with external providers).
* B. Look for a local company to provide this service:Incorrect. While finding a new local service provider resolves the immediate calibration issue, it does not address the risk of future provider unavailability.
* C. Double-check one out of ten samples externally:Incorrect. This corrective action ensures some quality assurance for batch release but does not resolve the nonconformance related to expired calibration.
* D. Add this issue to the external issue register, assess its associated risk, and plan action to address that risk:Correct. This approach directly addresses the root cause (failure to anticipate the calibration provider leaving) and ensures proper risk management. ISO 9001:2015 emphasizes risk-based thinking under Clause 6.1, requiring organizations to identify risks and opportunities and implement plans to mitigate them.
* Why D is the Best Option:
* By adding the issue to the external issue register, the organization ensures it is monitored and tracked.
* Assessing the risk ensures proactive measures are in place for similar issues in the future.
* Planning actions to address the risk ensures a sustainable solution is implemented, such as identifying multiple service providers or ensuring backup plans for calibration services.
* ISO 9001 References:
* Clause 6.1 (Actions to Address Risks and Opportunities): Requires organizations to consider risks and opportunities that could affect the intended results of the QMS.
* Clause 7.1.5.2 (Measurement Traceability): Mandates that measuring equipment must be calibrated and traceable to ensure valid results.
* Clause 10.2 (Nonconformity and Corrective Action): Requires organizations to determine the root cause of nonconformities and take actions to ensure they do not recur.

質問 # 56
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.
During the audit, a team member finds that a number of print jobs have been rejected by several clients over a number of months due to spelling errors in the print run. The Print Manager blames the new employees they had to take on because of a big contract. The auditor raises a nonconformance against clause 10.2.1.b of ISO
9001.
Which one of the evidence statements would support this finding?

• A. There was no evidence that a check of spelling took place before the release of printing to the client.
• B. The organisation did not provide the correct resources to prevent nonconformity.
• C. The actions taken to deal with customer complaints did not prevent recurrence of the problem.
• D. There was no record that the organisation evaluated the effectiveness of the training given to new employees.

正解：C

解説：
According to clause 10.2.1.b of ISO 9001:2015, the organization should evaluate the need for action to eliminate the causes of nonconformities, in order to prevent their recurrence. This means that the organization should identify and address the root causes and contributing factors of the nonconformities, and implement appropriate corrective actions that are effective and proportional to the impact of the nonconformities. In this case, the evidence statement that supports the finding of nonconformance is C, because it shows that the organization did not take effective actions to prevent the recurrence of the spelling errors in the print run, which resulted in repeated customer rejections and dissatisfaction. The other options are not directly related to clause 10.2.1.b, although they may indicate other nonconformities or weaknesses in the organization's QMS.
For example, option A may relate to clause 7.2 on competence, option B may relate to clause 8.6 on release of products and services, and option D may relate to clause 7.1 on resources. References: ISO 9001:2015, [ISO
9001 Auditing Practices Group Guidance on Nonconformity and Corrective Action], ISO 9001 Clause 10.

質問 # 57
You, as auditor, are in dialogue with the quality lead and managing director of a small business that supplies specialist laboratory equipment and furniture.
You: "I'd like to look at how you manage change in the organisation. What changes have you made as a business, say, over the last 12 months?" Auditee: "We have made some strategic changes, the main one being that we no longer manufacture our own products in house." You: "That sounds like quite a significant change. What has been the impact of that?" Auditee: "We now mainly sell other manufacturers' products, under their brand names, and have outsourced manufacture of our own brand products to one of our suppliers. Unfortunately, we had to make six members of our staff redundant. This represents about 20% of our workforce, so this has been quite a challenging time." You: "I'm sure. What were the reasons for making the change?" Auditee: "Our manufacturing section was a small operation, and we struggled to cope with fluctuations in demand. During busy periods, we found it hard to meet lead times, and in quiet periods we had staff with little to do. This was having an impact on customer satisfaction and meant we had to charge premium prices that made our product uncompetitive." You: "How did you go about the change?" In relation to the auditor's question about how the change was managed, the auditee mentions the steps listed below. Match the ISO 9001 clauses to the steps.

質問 # 58
You are conducting a Stage 1 audit at an organisation that services refrigeration equipment for a large customer base.
The scope of certification is "Provision of refrigeration equipment maintenance and repair services". You are interviewing the Managing Director to learn more about the organisation and to explore how the requirements for policy, objectives, and risks and opportunities in ISO 9001 are addressed.
The Managing Director explains that they only use sub-contract refrigeration engineers and do not have any full-time refrigeration engineers, which helps to optimise overhead costs. The full-time staff employed are essentially a small team of office staff who process customer enquiries, schedule jobs and process invoices.
The Managing Director adds that the ISO 9001 requirements for competence of personnel extends to both sub- contract and full-time staff. He also states that the full-time staff are aware of the Quality Policy, objectives and plans to address risk and opportunities.
You ask if the sub-contract engineers have been informed of the Quality Policy, objectives and plans to address risks and opportunities, to which the Managing Director replies that this is not applicable as they only use sub- contractors who operate ISO 9001 certificated quality management systems. The documented information provided to the auditor confirms this.
Which clause in ISO 9001 is most likely not to have been fulfilled in this instance?

• A. 7.4 Communication
• B. 7.2 Competence
• C. 7.5 Documented information
• D. 7.3 Awareness

正解：A

解説：
Questions no: 16 Verified answer: = C. 7.4 Communication Comprehensive But Short Explanation: = Clause
7.4 of ISO 9001:2015 requires the organization to determine the internal and external communications relevant to the quality management system, including what will be communicated, when, with whom, and how. The scenario indicates a potential gap in communication with subcontractors regarding the Quality Policy, objectives, and plans to address risks and opportunities, which is a requirement even if the subcontractors have their own ISO 9001 certified systems123. References: = This response is based on the general requirements of ISO 9001:2015 related to communication with external parties, such as subcontractors, as outlined in various resources discussing Clause 7.4123.

* 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.

According to ISO 19011, what two activities take place during the conduct of a audit follow-up?

• A. Verify the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions
• B. Verify corrections taken to fix the reported non-conformities
• C. Determine feasibility of the audit
• D. Plan the next audit
• E. Assign roles and responsibilities of observers
• F. Verify legal compliance

正解：A、B

解説：
According to ISO 19011:2018, clause 6.7, the audit follow-up is the process of verifying the completion and effectiveness of corrective actions taken by the auditee as a result of an audit. The audit follow-up can include two main activities:
Verifying the effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions: this means checking whether the actions taken by the auditee have addressed the root causes of the nonconformities and prevented their recurrence or occurrence in other areas. The verification can be done by reviewing documents, records, data, or other evidence provided by the auditee, or by conducting a follow-up audit on site or remotely.
Verifying corrections taken to fix the reported non-conformities: this means checking whether the auditee has corrected the nonconformities identified during the audit and eliminated their immediate effects. The verification can be done by reviewing documents, records, data, or other evidence provided by the auditee, or by conducting a follow-up audit on site or remotely.
The audit follow-up can be conducted as a separate audit or as part of a subsequent audit, depending on the audit programme, the audit objectives, the audit criteria, the audit scope, the audit risks, and the audit findings.
The audit follow-up should be planned and conducted in accordance with the same principles and processes as the initial audit, and the results should be documented and reported accordingly. References:

質問 # 63
During a third-party audit of a pharmaceutical organisation (CD9000) site of seven COVID-19 testing laboratories in various terminals at a major international airport, you interview the CD 9000's General Manager (GM), who was accompanied by Jack, the legal compliance expert. Jack is acting as the guide in the absence of the Technical Manager due to him contracting COVID-19.
You: "What external and internal issues have been identified that could affect CD9000 and its quality management system?" GM: "Jack guided us on this. We identified issues like probable competition of another laboratory organisation in the airport, legal requirements on COVID-19 continuously changing, the shortage of competent laboratory analysists, the epidemic declining soon, shortage of chemicals for the analysis. It was quite a good experience." You: "Did you document these issues?" GM: "No. Jack said that ISO 9001 does not require us to document these issues." You: "How did you determine the risks associated with the issues and did you plan actions to address them?" GM: "I am not sure. The Technical Manager is responsible for this process. Jack may be able to answer this question in his absence." Select two options for how you would respond to the General Manager's suggestion:

• A. I would ask to audit the Technical Manager by phone.
• B. I would look for evidence that the actions resulting from the risk assessment had been taken.
• C. I would ask the consultant to leave the meeting since he is not an employee of the organisation.
• D. I would ask for a different guide instead of the legal compliance expert.
• E. I would delay the audit until the return of the technical manager
• F. I would not accept the legal compliance expert answering the question.

正解：B、F

解説：
According to clause 4.1 of ISO 9001:2015, the organization should determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and its strategic direction and that affect its ability to achieve the intended results of its quality management system. The organization should monitor and review these issues and update them as necessary. Although the standard does not explicitly require documented information of these issues, it does require documented information as evidence of the implementation of the actions taken to address risks and opportunities, as per clause 6.1. The organization should also retain documented information as evidence of the results of the monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation of its QMS, as per clause 9.1. Therefore, the auditor should not accept the legal compliance expert answering the question, as he is not the person responsible for the process and may not have the necessary competence or knowledge of the QMS. The auditor should also look for evidence that the actions resulting from the risk assessment had been taken, as this is a requirement of the standard and a way to verify the effectiveness of the QMS. The other options are not appropriate courses of action for the auditor, because they do not address the audit objective or criteria, or they may compromise the audit integrity or impartiality. For example, option B may not be feasible or reliable, as the Technical Manager may not be available or able to provide the necessary evidence by phone. Option C may cause unnecessary delay and inconvenience for the audit process and the auditee. Option E may not solve the problem, as the guide is not the main source of evidence or information for the audit. Option F may be disrespectful or unprofessional, as the consultant may have a legitimate role or interest in the audit.

解説：
*To evaluate the preparedness of the organisation for a Stage 2 audit: This objective involves assessing the readiness of the organisation to undergo the Stage 2 audit, where the conformity and effectiveness of the quality management system will be verified123. The audit team will check the level of implementation and understanding of the quality management system, identify any major gaps or nonconformities, and confirm the audit scope, criteria, and plan123.
*To review the quality manual: This objective involves reviewing the documented information 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 will also evaluate the organisation's understanding and application of the standard, and identify any areas of improvement or concern123.
The other options are not included in the objectives of the Stage 1 initial certification 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.

質問 # 65
XYZ Corporation is an organisation that employs 100 people. As the audit team leader, you conduct a certification audit at Stage 1. When reviewing the quality management system (QMS), you find that the objectives have been defined by an external consultant using those of a competitor, but nothing is documented. 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.
Which two options describe the circumstances in which you could raise a nonconformity against clause 6.2 of ISO 9001?

• A. Quality objectives are not maintained as documented information.
• B. Quality objectives were not established in alignment with the organisation's quality policy.
• C. The organisation cannot afford to undertake quality objectives all at once.
• D. Quality objectives are not being implemented by the organisations' personnel.
• E. The consultant has not interpreted ISO 9001 correctly.
• F. Establishing quality objectives did not include top management.

正解：A、B

解説：
According to ISO 9001:2015, clause 6.2.1, the organization is required to establish quality objectives at relevant functions, levels, and processes for the quality management system (QMS). The quality objectives must be consistent with the quality policy, measurable, monitored, communicated, and updated as appropriate.
The organization is also required to maintain documented information on the quality objectives, as per clause
7.5.1.
Therefore, in the scenario given, the quality objectives defined by the external consultant are not in alignment with the organization's quality policy, as they are based on those of a competitor, rather than the organization' s own purpose, strategic direction, and customer requirements. This creates a mismatch between the organization's vision and goals, and the quality objectives that are supposed to guide and measure the QMS performance. Moreover, the quality objectives are not maintained as documented information, which makes it difficult to communicate, monitor, and update them, as well as to demonstrate evidence of their implementation and achievement.
Hence, the circumstances in which a nonconformity against clause 6.2 of ISO 9001 could be raised are B and C, as they indicate a failure to comply with the requirements of clause 6.2.1. The other options are either irrelevant or not directly related to clause 6.2, as they do not pertain to the establishment and documentation of quality objectives.

質問 # 66
Which two of the following roles do not contribute to the audit outcomes?

• A. Auditee
• B. Guide
• C. Consultant
• D. Technical expert
• E. Observer
• F. Individual(s) managing the audit programme

正解：A、F

解説：
The individual(s) managing the audit programme and the auditee are both roles that contribute to the audit outcomes. The individual(s) managing the audit programme are responsible for planning, conducting, and reporting on the audit activities, as well as ensuring that they are aligned with the organization's quality objectives and risk management processes1. The auditee is the person or entity that is subject to an audit, and their participation, cooperation, and feedback are essential for achieving a successful audit outcome2. References:

質問 # 67
Which of the following two documents does an auditor need to prepare and complete prior to the on-site audit?

• A. Checklist / Prompts
• B. Findings
• C. Procedures
• D. Audit Plan
• E. Risk Matrices
• F. Audit Report

正解：A、D

解説：
According to ISO 19011:2018, clause 6.3, the audit plan is a document that provides the basis for agreement regarding the conduct of the audit. The audit plan should include the information listed in my previous response, such as the audit objectives, scope, criteria, schedule, team, methods, report, etc. The audit plan should be prepared and completed prior to the on-site audit, and should be communicated to the audit team and the auditee1.
According to ISO 19011:2018, clause 6.4.3, the checklist / prompts are documents that list the questions or topics that need to be covered during an audit. The checklist / prompts can help the auditor to collect and verify information relevant to the audit criteria, and to ensure the consistency and completeness of the audit.
The checklist / prompts should be prepared and completed prior to the on-site audit, and should be based on the audit plan and the audit scope and objectives1.
Therefore, the two documents that an auditor needs to prepare and complete prior to the on-site audit are B and D, as they are essential for planning and conducting the audit. The other options are not correct, as they are either prepared or completed after the on-site audit, or not required by the standard:
*A. Audit Report: The audit report is a document that provides a complete, accurate, concise, and clear record of the audit. The audit report should include the information listed in my previous response, such as the audit objectives, scope, criteria, findings, conclusions, etc. The audit report should be prepared and completed after the on-site audit, and should be distributed to the audit client and the auditee1.
*C. Procedures: Procedures are documents that specify the way activities are to be performed. Procedures may be part of the audit criteria, if they are part of the organization's management system, or part of the audit programme, if they are part of the certification body's or registrar's requirements. Procedures are not prepared or completed by the auditor prior to the on-site audit, but rather reviewed or followed by the auditor during the audit1.
*E. Risk Matrices: Risk matrices are tools that help to assess and prioritize the risks and opportunities associated with the audit programme or the audit. Risk matrices may be part of the audit programme management, if they are used to determine and evaluate the audit programme risks and opportunities, or part of the audit preparation, if they are used to determine and evaluate the audit risks and opportunities. Risk matrices are not prepared or completed by the auditor prior to the on-site audit, but rather used or updated by the auditor during the audit programme management or the audit preparation1.
*F. Findings: Findings are the results of the evaluation of the collected audit evidence against the audit criteria. Findings can indicate either conformity or nonconformity, as well as positive aspects or opportunities for improvement. Findings are not prepared or completed by the auditor prior to the on-site audit, but rather generated and recorded by the auditor during the audit activities1.
