Is there a ready-made ISO 9001 audit checklist?

IMScheck provides the structure: checklist templates with sections and clause references that you create once and reuse in every audit. You phrase the audit questions to fit your organisation – the standard texts themselves are copyrighted and part of the licensed edition of the standard.

Does editing a template change past audits?

No. Each audit stores a snapshot of the checklist, so it stays traceable what was checked at the time of the audit.

Who can edit checklists?

Owners and admins maintain templates centrally. All contributors of an audit can rate items; readers can only view results.

Audit checklist – maintained centrally, reused in every audit

A good audit checklist makes audits complete and comparable. In IMScheck you maintain checklist templates centrally – for example for quality under ISO 9001 or for controlling – and attach them to each audit. Every rated item can be turned into a finding directly.

How IMScheck supports your audit checklists

Create and maintain checklist templates centrally – once, for every audit.
Rate each item during the audit: conforming, nonconforming, open, not applicable – with a note.
Turn deviations straight into findings and actions, no copy-and-paste.
Results stay in the audit collection – next time you see what was checked last.

What makes a good audit checklist

It is based on the audit criterion (clause, internal requirement, legal requirement), uses open audit questions rather than yes/no statements, and leaves room for evidence and notes.

Just as important is a clear rating scheme – conforming, nonconforming, open or not applicable – so it stays traceable what was checked and what was not.

Checklists in IMScheck

Templates are maintained once, centrally (by owners or admins) – with name, category, suggested audit type and items including section and optional clause reference.

In an audit the template is stored as a snapshot. Later template changes do not alter running or completed audits – important for traceability.

Each item is rated and commented. A nonconforming item becomes a finding in one click, and the finding becomes an action.

Example checklists

Quality (ISO 9001): context, customer requirements, process control, handling of complaints.

Environment (ISO 14001): environmental aspects, compliance obligations, emergency preparedness.

Occupational health and safety (ISO 45001): hazard identification, worker participation, incident investigation.

Information security (ISO 27001): risk treatment, Statement of Applicability, access rights.

Internal topics: controlling, supplier evaluation, process audits.
