No examination records for HACCP, PRP, ISO/IEC , ISO/TS 22003:2013 or ISO 19011:2011 training d. Audit experience is indicated as 4 audits/8 days instead of 5 audits/10 days e. The witness audit for 25 July 2017 has not been uploaded f. The information in the AR has not been validated auditor is showing as inprogress g. The auditor is indicated as being qualified for: a. Category I, however there is no record of the 30hrs training required. No packaging audits have been conducted to date b. FSSC Quality, however there is no training indicated for ISO 9001:2015.
