Once the audit is completed, you will receive an initial audit report either during the closing meeting or after the audit. According to the non-conformities, you must make a commitment during the closing meeting (or within 1 week after the audit) to undertake defined corrective actions in order to correct the non-conformities.
Then, according to a certain timeframe, you must submit proof of implementation of the corrective actions for all non-conformities corresponding to certification requirements.
Depending on the additional evaluation tasks needed to verify that the non-conformities have been cleared, the CB may be required, if necessary, to proceed with an additional documentary evaluation, and/or an additional on-site audit.
