How to use this template

  1. Schedule and scope the audit — define which processes or clauses are in scope, assign an auditor independent of the activity being audited, and notify auditees at least one week in advance.
  2. Download the checklist PDF — click the button above to generate and save the template. Print one copy per audit scope.
  3. Complete the audit header — fill in the site/department, audit reference number, audit date, lead auditor name, and scope statement before entering the area.
  4. Work clause by clause — for each listed clause, circle Y (conforms), N (nonconformity), or NA (not applicable). Record the objective evidence reviewed in the evidence column.
  5. Write findings — for each N, write a clear finding statement: what was observed, where, and how it deviates from the ISO 9001:2015 requirement.
  6. Complete the nonconformity summary — tally major and minor nonconformities and list each NCR number. Agree on response dates with the auditee before leaving.
  7. Obtain signatures and file — have the lead auditor and auditee representative sign the sign-off block. Retain the completed checklist per your audit records retention policy.

ISO 9001 Note: Auditors must be objective and impartial — do not audit your own work (Clause 9.2.2). Document results and report them to relevant management; internal audit results are a required input to Management Review (Clause 9.3.2).
