I am about to go through an ISO audit here at work and I'm a little nervous. I have never been audited before so i don't know what to expect.

Why do they want to talk to me? I'm just a contractor.

Not like they need a reason to fire you if you are a contractor, they just tell you not to come in to work tomorrow.

Dunt know what ISO is. ??

ISO is the International Standards Orgonisation.

They have put out a set of guidlines for quality control and other things. Part of there standards deal with document control, and my department is the one that ensures all of our company documentation adhears to the ISO standard. In big bussiness you are more likely to get and keep customers is your company is ISO certified.

This audit is internal, and it is to ensure that when we get audited by ISO we can keep our certification.

I hope they don't really call me.

Only 45 more min until I am safe.

They call liquer stores "ABC" stores in VA and they are government run. Tell me that doesn't sound communist.

I wish I could run and hide.

Only 30 min left until I am safe.

I took the following from the ISO web site. We are ISO 9000 compliant. This explains what it is and will help you understand what i do at work.

ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 in plain language
This section tells you briefly what ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 are and what they are not.

Both "ISO 9000" and "ISO 14000" are actually families of standards which are referred to under these generic titles for convenience. Both families consist of standards and guidelines relating to management systems, and related supporting standards on terminology and specific tools, such as auditing (the process of checking that the management system conforms to the standard).

ISO 9000 is primarily concerned with "quality management". Like "beauty", everyone may have his or her idea of what "quality" is. In plain language, the standardized definition of "quality" in ISO 9000 refers to all those features of a product (or service) which are required by the customer. "Quality management" means what the organization does to ensure that its products conform to the customer's requirements.

ISO 14000 is primarily concerned with "environmental management". In plain language, this means what the organization does to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities.

Both ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 concern the way an organization goes about its work, and not directly the result of this work. In other words, they both concern processes, and not products – at least, not directly. Nevertheless, the way in which the organization manages its processes is obviously going to affect its final product. In the case of ISO 9000, it is going to affect whether or not everything has been done to ensure that the product meets the customer's requirements. In the case of ISO 14000, it is going to affect whether or not everything has been done to ensure a product will have the least harmful impact on the environment, either during production or disposal, either by pollution or by depleting natural resources.

However, neither ISO 9000 nor ISO 14000 are product standards. The management system standards in these families state requirements for what the organization must do to manage processes influencing quality (ISO 9000) or the processes influencing the impact of the organization's activities on the environment (ISO 14000).

In both cases, the philosophy is that these requirements are generic. No matter what the organization is or does, if it wants to establish a quality management system or an environmental management system, then such a system has a number of essential features which are spelled out in ISO 9000 or ISO 14000.

Once the above distinctions are clear in your mind, you are ready to tackle The three-headed ‘Ation' beast: certification, registration and accreditation at our next tour stop. If you have already faced down this monster, you may prefer to go directly to ‘ISO certificates' don't exist! or Publicizing your certification.

Actully the US Government didn't define the ISO standards. They actully try to be compliant with them. Strange as it may sound the only orgonisation that has a 5 Star ISO rating in the world is NASA

Yeah but what happened to "free enterprise" I can't open a liquer store here and if I want to do a public protest of ANYTHING I have to get a permit?!

Dane .. the best way to get through audits like that is to just tell the truth..

If they ask you something tha tyou don't know the answer for, tell them
"Well I'm not quite sure of the answer to that question, but I would ask this person or that person, or look here to find out."

That usually gets by...

ISO is just concerned that you as a company have certain repeatable policies and procedures in place.

Don't sweat it dude.

No, I had to figure out the avrage file size of the 5000+ documents I control so they can get me a new web server.

The ISO people never called.

by the way MTX, ISO could care less what you protest at your liquor store.
