ISO Audit Types

There are 3 major ISO audit types:

First Party Audit

Second Party Audit

Third-Party Audit

First Party Audit-

Also referred to as an internal audit. These audits are typically carried out internally by your own employees (trained to carry out internal audits) or, if you do not have the internal resources, they may be carried out on your behalf by an external company.

Second Party Audit-

Also known as an audit of a retailer. Such audits are typically carried out with the company by lead auditors and are structured to ensure that the businesses that provide you with products/services do what they say they do. Again, if you do not have the internal resources, these audits may be done by an external firm.

Third-Party Audit-

Also is known as an audit of certification. These audits are often carried out by an inspector from the Certification Body. These audits are for the purpose of obtaining certification from a recognized body according to the applicable ISO standard.
Audits, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OH&S 18001, ISO 13485, TS 16969, ISO 27001, can (and sometimes must) be performed against all of the ISO standards.
