ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group

Welcome to the website of the ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group.

The ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group is constituted as an informal group of quality management system (QMS) experts, auditors and practitioners, drawn from the ISO Technical Committee 176 Quality Management and Quality Assurance (ISO/TC 176) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).

The Co-Conveners of the ISO 9001 Auditing Practices Group are Mr L Thione (CEO, SINCERT, Italy) and Mr A Ezrakhovich (General Manager, SAI Global Certification Services Pty Ltd, Australia).

This website has been established as an on-line source of papers and presentations on auditing QMSs.  The ideas, examples and explanations given reflect the process-based approach that is essential for auditing the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 Quality management systems - Requirements.

The website is primarily aimed at QMS auditors, consultants and quality practitioners.
