Run the internal audit required by ISO/IEC 17020:2012, clause by clause — an Excel file with audit questions, an evidence log and automatic scoring.
One-time payment. Instant download. 30-day money-back guarantee.
ISO/IEC 17020:2012 requires you to audit your inspection body management system at planned intervals. Rebuilding the audit checklist from scratch every cycle wastes time and misses requirements. This file gives you the questions, the evidence to sample and a scored result you can present to management.
A sample of the “Detailed checklist” tab. Each row turns a requirement into an audit question with the evidence to sample.
| Reference | Audit question | Evidence to sample | Auditee | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General & resources | ||||
| 4.1 | Safeguard impartiality and manage risks to it. | Impartiality risk assessment | Quality manager | Partial |
| 6.1 | Ensure inspectors are competent and authorized. | Competence records, authorizations | Technical manager | Non-conform |
| Process | ||||
| 7.1 | Control inspection methods and procedures. | Inspection procedures | Technical manager | To evaluate |
| 7.4 | Produce inspection reports and certificates. | Inspection reports | Inspectors | 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.

The checklist covers every requirement as an audit question, so nothing is left out of the audit plan.
You record conformity and findings on site. The dashboard scores the result as you go.
Each finding becomes a tracked nonconformity, ready for management review and follow-up.
Audit plan → On-site audit → Findings → Corrective actions
Nothing is left as a heading. Every clause is broken down into the requirements you check off — here is what each one covers.
