What else will you need in preparation for unannounced audits?

In addition to training to prepare your company and your suppliers for unannounced audits, you will also need to have a completed supplier quality agreement that authorizes your Notified Body to conduct unannounced audits of your suppliers. If you don’t already have a supplier quality agreement with your suppliers, you might want to consider purchasing our Supplier Quality Management Procedure (SYS-011). You should also create a supplier audit schedule that prioritizes your “critical suppliers” and “crucial suppliers” that Notified Bodies will be targeting for unannounced audits.

Who will be audited during unannounced audits?

“In 2014, the primary targets for unannounced audits will be manufacturers of high-risk, Class III devices. The primary targets for unannounced audits are unlikely contract manufacturers, because Notified Bodies may not have access to all the technical documentation while they are auditing a contract manufacturer. I expect each of the Notified Bodies to plan at least one unannounced audit of a contract manufacturer for a Class III device that is outsourced, but I don’t expect this to be the focus of unannounced auditing activities in 2014.”
