Audits are made on sampling basis. The word \u201caudit\u201d is not used in the electrical safety standards of IEC (or fire safety standards in ISO). \u201cVERIFICATION\u201d, is appropriate for the purpose, used in all standards. Verification includes inspection and testing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Definitions of Audit and Verification<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Audit:<\/strong> Systematic, independent, documented process for obtaining records, statements of fact or other relevant information and assessing them objectively to determine the extent to which specified requirements are fulfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verification:<\/strong> Confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that specified requirements have been fulfilled. The term \u201cverified\u201d is used to designate the corresponding status. Design verification is the application of tests and appraisals to assess conformity of a design to the specified requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n
