Surveillance, Short Notice and Unannounced Audits
A Surveillance Audit is the ongoing periodic review of an organisation’s quality management system. This audit takes place in-between certification and re-certification audit while Surprise Audits are unannounced audits. Surveillance and surprise visit frequency will be stipulated as either once or twice each year, but additional visits may be conducted at the discretion of SICHMA halal certification Scheme.
It may be necessary for SICHMA to conduct audits of certificated clients at short notice to investigate complaints, or in response to changes, or as a follow-up on suspended clients. Under such circumstance SICHMA shall exercise additional care in the assignment of the audit team.
