FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A witness audit is an independent evaluation to assess whether a certification or inspection body correctly applies the relevant standard during audits or inspections.
It clarifies differences in how standards are interpreted, identifies bottlenecks in the audit process, and highlights areas for improvement.
The findings help standard owners and bodies to improve auditor training, strengthen the audit system, and — if needed — create and follow up on an improvement plan.
