ISO 9001:2015

CLIENT TRANSITION CHECKLIST

Instructions for Client: Please complete the checklist below and one full internal audit against the ISO 9001:2015 requirements prior to
your organizations audit. Once the form is completed, forward it to your Auditor and admin@cacs.net.au prior to the assessment. Please
ensure that the completed checklist and internal audit records are available to your auditor prior to commencement of your assessment.
If you are not able to complete this document, it is a strong indicator that your organization may not be ready to transition to ISO 9001:2015.
In this case, please inform both your auditor and CACS admin that you need additional time and resources to prepare for the
transition and they will work with you. It may be of benefit to select a mutually agreeable date for a CACS auditor to conduct a gap
analysis and complete the transition checklist for you on site at a greatly reduced daily rate of $700.
New Concepts & Themes: Please complete the tables below which highlight some of the new concepts and themes present in ISO
9001:2015. These concepts will bridge multiple processes, clauses and functional areas. Ensure that these new concepts have been
deployed in a manner that supports the process approach and risk based thinking.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Please attach and submit (together with this completed checklist) all relevant documentation and or
records to support any conformity claims including reference where applicable.
