Considerations Before ISO Registration

Ensure that your system is fully implemented, procedures are being followed and records are maintained. Conduct both an internal audit and a management review noting any exceptions before the registration process begins.

• Internal Audits Use internal audits to ensure your system is in place. Make sure your records show all elements have been audited at least once.
• Management Review Conduct at least one Management Review and ensure records (meeting minutes for example) are maintained showing all required items were discussed and appropriate action items assigned.
• Exceptions If you have any exceptions, make sure they are noted with appropriate rationale in your Quality Manual.
