What is EN ISO 19085-13: 2018 ?

EN ISO 19085-13: 2018 is a standard that outlines the requirements for management systems audits. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to provide a framework for organizations to assess their management systems and ensure compliance with regulations and standards.

EN ISO 19085-13: 2018 is divided into three parts. The first part provides general requirements for management system audits, including the audit process, the roles and responsibilities of the audit team, and the audit outcomes. The second part provides specific requirements for audits of specific management systems, such as quality management systems, environmental management systems, and occupational health and safety management systems. The third part provides guidance on how to report and document the audit results.

The main purpose of EN ISO 19085-13: 2018 is to provide organizations with a structured and systematic approach to conducting management system audits that meets the requirements of ISO 9001: 2015 and other relevant management system standards. It enables organizations to assess their management systems objectively and in a reliable manner, and identify areas for improvement.

EN ISO 19085-13: 2018 is widely recognized and adopted by organizations around the world. It is an essential tool for organizations to continuously improve their management systems and ensure that they are in compliance with relevant regulations and standards. By implementing EN ISO 19085-13: 2018, organizations can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of their management system audits, and improve their overall performance.
