How do you Become ISO Certified Lead Auditor ? 

What is an ISO lead auditor ?

               While an auditor leading an ISO management system audit is referred to as a lead auditor, they are typically not affiliated with the organisation being audited.

               That is, an independent third-party examination of the degree of conformity by an organisation with the standards of ISO 9001 (a QMS Audit) or of another specific ISO Standard by a lead auditor of a Certification Body.

               Following a successful audit, the Certification Body issues a Certificate of conformity based on an Audit Report created by the Lead Auditor.

Where do Lead Auditors work?

                    Internal auditor, lead auditor, and other terms are frequently used in the financial industry as though they simply applied to the finance function.

                    Any function, including those related to quality, the environment, energy, manufacturing of medical devices, food safety, occupational health and safety, and information security, is covered by the ISO Management System Standards. As a result, lead auditors and internal auditors have a virtually limitless number of job choices.

                  Nonetheless, it's best to consult ISO Lead Auditors and ISO Internal Auditors when it comes to these Standards.

Where do the different ISO Standards fit in?

                 The requirements of, say, ISO 14001, the environmental management system standard, cannot be audited by an auditor who has been schooled in the standards of ISO 9001, the quality system standard.

                 This is due to the two standards having fundamentally different goals and vastly differing specific criteria.

                 So, in order to perform an ISO 14001 audit, an ISO 9001 Lead Auditor would first need to complete an additional course (the ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Extension Course).
