In addition, it defines the content and composition for the audit reporting of conformity and process effectiveness to the EN 9100-series standards, the organization’s QMS documentation, and customer and statutory/regulatory requirements. The requirements in this document are additions or represent changes to the requirements and guidelines in the standards for conformity assessment, auditing, and certification as published by ISO/IEC (i.e. ISO/IEC 17000:2020, ISO/IEC 17021‑1). When there is conflict with these standards, the requirements of this document take precedence.
