systematic, independent and documented process (3.1.190) for obtaining audit evidence and evaluating it objectively to determine the extent to which the audit criteria are fulfilled Note 1 to entry: An audit can be an internal audit (3.1.134) (first party) or an external audit (second party or third party), and it can be a combined audit (combining two or more disciplines). Note 2 to entry: An internal audit is conducted by the organization (3.1.165) itself, or by an external party on its behalf. Note 3 to entry: “Audit evidence” and “audit criteria” are defined in ISO 19011. Note 4 to entry: The fundamental elements of an audit include the determination of the conformity (3.1.44) of an object (3.1.161) according to a procedure (3.1.189) carried out by personnel (3.1.179) not being responsible for the object audited.
Note 5 to entry: An internal audit can be for management (3.1.144) review (3.1.211) and other internal purposes and can form the basis for an organization’s declaration of conformity. Independence can be demonstrated by the freedom from responsibility for the activity (3.1.2) being audited. External audits include second- and third-party audits. Second-party audits are conducted by parties having an interest in the organization, such as customers, or by other persons on their behalf. Third-party audits are conducted by external, independent auditing organizations, such as those providing certification/registration of conformity or government agencies. Note 6 to entry: This constitutes one of the common terms and core definitions of the high level structure for ISO management system standards. The original definition has been modified by adding Notes 4 and 5 to entry.
