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.
It's Audit Day
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 Bridge and Highway Metal Components.
