Understand the challenge
A factory audit is more than a showroom visit. It evaluates the manufacturing site, equipment, processes, quality-control resources and material traceability. Depending on the product, the review may cover subcontractors, nonconformance management and whether the supplier can deliver consistent results across production batches.
How to structure the project
Certification documents need to be checked for actual scope: issuing body, covered facility, product category, validity and any supporting test reports. A positive audit does not automatically replace product testing or production inspections. The appropriate scope depends on technical risks and purchase value.
Points to verify
- Verify facilities and capacity
- Review quality controls and traceability
- Document findings and corrective action
