Internal auditors need to update to the Annex SL Standards

It is a requirement that auditors of management systems  update their knowledge to be able to audit to the new standards using the annex SL format; these include ISO 9-001:2015, ISO 14001: 2015 and the proposed ISO 45001.

IRCA registered auditors were advised that they must attend a two day transition course to requalify or would be deregistered.

I had to attend one of these courses (In December 2015) and this now allows me to audit to the new Standards.

The Annex SL Standards are quite different in their approach and require risks and opportunities to be addressed.  There are requirements to monitor and measure processes (key performance indicators).  Testing organisations top management leadership is also required.

We hold certificated internal audit courses meeting the requirements for the new Standards; our next course is to be held on 18+19 October 2017 in Colchester in Essex.
