– Evaluate the client’s location and site-specific conditions with client to
determine the preparedness for the Stage 2 audit
– Review the client’s status and understanding regarding requirements of the
standard, in particular with respect to the identification of the key
performance of processes, objectives and operation of the management
system
 Stage 2:
– Information and evidence about conformity to all requirements of the
applicable management system standard
– Performance monitoring, measuring, reporting and reviewing against key
performance objectives and targets
– The client's management system and performance in regards to set
objectives
 Surveillance

ensure your system is still performing to requirements of the standard. They also
verify any issues raised at your previous audit are corrected.
– Surveillance activities include on-site audits assessing the certified client’s
management system’s fulfillment of specific requirements relating to the
standard.
