The Quality Coordinator together with the Quality Manager and Technician are responsible for the approval of the Audit Plan, for eventual reformulation and for the evaluation of internal quality audits results.
The Quality Department is responsible for elaborating, reformulating (if necessary) and monitoring the Audit Plan as well as for maintaining the system register.

Audits are planned by type and are in reality a system for checking samples by fulfilling the support normative requisites of the Quality Management System. In these audits, the system elements must be evaluated in function of the importance of the activities and of their present situation, checking if the activities and results are in conformity with the plan.
