Prepare for the ISO 9001:2015 certification audit before the auditor arrives — an Excel file that scores your readiness clause by clause.
One-time payment. Instant download. 30-day money-back guarantee.
The ISO 9001:2015 certification audit tests your quality management system against the full standard. Going in without a self-assessment means discovering gaps in front of the auditor. This file lets you audit yourself first, close the gaps, and walk in ready.
A sample of the “Detailed checklist” tab. Each row is a requirement the auditor checks, with what they look for.
| Reference | Requirement checked | What the auditor looks for | Readiness | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Context & leadership | ||||
| 4.1 / 4.2 | Determine internal and external issues and the relevant interested parties. | Context analysis, interested-parties register | Top management | Partial |
| 5.2 | Establish, communicate and maintain the quality policy. | Quality policy communicated | Top management | Non-conform |
| Planning & support | ||||
| 6.1 | Identify risks and opportunities and plan the actions to address them. | Risk & opportunity assessment | Quality manager | To evaluate |
| 7.1.5 | Control the monitoring and measuring resources (calibration). | Equipment calibration records | Operations | Partial |
Overall conformity rate, number of open gaps, breakdown by status. Everything updates as you fill in the checklist.
One row per requirement: the point to check, the expected evidence, the owner and a status drop-down.
Charts generated from your entries: score by clause and status breakdown, ready to present to management.
Each gap becomes a dated, assigned action, tracked to closure and ready for your audit.
A free requirements list tells you what the standard asks. This checklist turns it into a working control tool.
| Feature | Free requirements list | Certification audit checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements list | Yes | Yes |
| One detailed row per requirement | No | Yes |
| Point, evidence and owner per requirement | No | Yes |
| Conformity score calculated automatically | No | Yes |
| Dashboard and summary charts | No | Yes |
| Corrective action plan included | No | Yes |
You test your system against every requirement the auditor will check, and score your readiness.
Each weak point becomes a dated, assigned action so nothing is open on audit day.
You walk into the certification audit prepared, with the evidence organized and the gaps closed.
Self-assessment → Close gaps → Certification audit → Certificate
Nothing is left as a heading. Every clause is broken down into the requirements you check off — here is what each one covers.
