On-Site Audit
Schedule an On-Site Audit
When your documentation audit is a success, QMC will work with you to schedule an on-site audit. This in-person audit allows us to verify that your firm is using the quality system as you documented it.
Remember, certification looks at processes and procedures, not products.

Audits generally take two days, but depend on the size of the company also.
The auditor assigned to visit you on-site will use the criteria listed in the Standard for Steel Building Structures.

Auditors will also ensure that all personnel have access to the following reference materials.

The following references shall be readily available to those who need them. References will be current with the requirements of existing contracts. The fabricator must work to and meet the requirements of:"
