Quality audit
• Quality audit is the process of systematic examination of a
quality system carried out by an internal or external quality
auditor or an audit team.
• A second-party audit
– It is an external audit performed on a supplier by a customer or by a contracted organization
on behalf of a customer. A contract is in place, and the goods or services are being, or will be,
delivered. Second-party audits are subject to the rules of contract law, as they are providing
contractual direction from the customer to the supplier.
– Second-party audits tend to be more formal than first-party audits because audit results could
influence the customer’s purchasing decisions.
• A third-party audit
– It is performed by an audit organization independent of the customer-supplier relationship
and is free of any conflict of interest.
– Independence of the audit organization is a key component of a third-party audit. Third-party
audits may result in certification, registration, recognition, an award, license approval, a
citation, a fine, or a penalty issued by the third-party organization or an interested party.
Categories of Audit
• The American Society for Quality identifies
three categories of audit: a process audit, a
product audit, and a system audit.
• Product Audit: Product audit is an evaluation and qualification
method of a product, to validate whether it is conform to all
specified requirements (both internal and customer), and
fulfilling its purpose.
• The certification body will award a certificate to the organization to show that
they comply once they have achieved the requirements set out in the standard.

Role of Certification bodies
• Certification is the process of providing assurance
that an organization complies with a set of
requirements (e.g., an ISO standard).
• A certification body is an independent third party
responsible for the process of certification.
• Organizations use certification bodies in order to
obtain independent recognition.
