Instructions for Client: Please complete the checklist below and one full internal audit against the ISO 9001:2015

If you are not able to complete this document, it is a strong indicator that your organization may not be ready to
complete the transition to ISO 9001:2015. In this case, please inform your CSR that you need additional time to
prepare for the transition and they will work with you to select a mutually agreeable date to complete the transition.

themes present in ISO 9001:2015. These concepts will bridge multiple processes, clauses and functional areas.
