General Help

  • Take photographs or sketch to help clarify any issues you identify as required in each section. Don't forget to record the good points as well.

    You must select compliance level from the options:

    OK = Satisfactory (It is working effectively and reliably)
    NCR = Non-Conforming (It is NOT working effectively)
    OBS = Observation (there may be a slight deviation but generally is working well)
    OFI = Opportunity for Improvement (ideas that could make it better than it is)
    N/A = Not Applicable (this question does not apply to the area being audited).

  • Please ensure you write down, or photograph: serial numbers, reference numbers, order numbers etc to ensure that the audit is repeatable
