Distribution/Confidentiality/Rights of ownership/Limitations/Responsibilities

This report is sent to the certification body or bodies, the members of the audit team and the audit
representative of the organisation. All documents (such as this report) regarding the certification
procedure are treated confidentially by the audit team and the certification body. This audit report remains
the property of the certification body.
An audit is a procedure based on the principle of random sampling and cannot cover each detail of the
management system. Therefore nonconformities of weaknesses may still exist which were not expressly
mentioned by the auditors in the final meeting or in the audit report.
The responsibility for continuous effective operation of the management system always rests solely with
the audited and certified organisation.

Salvo clause:
The audit report will be left to the organisation at the end of the audit - subject to approval by the
certification body. The independent veto process may cause modifications or additions. In these cases a
modified revision will be sent to the audited organisation.
