Your needs:
-
Audit plan template
-
Audit plan template for ISO 13485, MDR compliance
-
Reduce rework, keep audits on-schedule, and strengthen inspection-ready evidence.
Use this template before executing any audit (especially external or supplier audits) to align stakeholders on criteria, agenda, sampling expectations, and deliverables.
It standardizes planning terminology. Audit criteria are the requirements we audit against; they matter because they anchor findings. A process approach means auditing end-to-end workflows rather than isolated documents; it matters because it reveals systemic gaps.
-
Define objective/scope/criteria and maintain controlled approvals.
-
Ensure auditor roles and signatures are documented.
-
Confirm locations, dates, and contacts for traceable logistics.
-
Identify exclusions and justify them before the audit starts.
-
Set a time-based agenda with resources to support efficient sampling.
-
Document that the audit is evidence-based and sampling-based.
