What is a Surveillance Audit?
A surveillance audit is a periodic assessment conducted after ISO certification is granted. The purpose of the audit is to verify that an organization's management system continues to comply with the requirements of the applicable ISO standard and is being effectively maintained.
Surveillance audits help organizations demonstrate ongoing commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, occupational health and safety, information security, and continual improvement.
