Effect of an existing ISO 9001-Certificate for QS Approval
• An ISO 9001-Certificate does not replace the approval audit by the CAB
• ISO 9001-Certification is not a requirement for the approval of the quality system, but helpful (lower costs, audit of notified body is restricted to the „technical delta“)
• Some bodies offer ISO 9001-Certification in addition to the approval of the quality system (not PTB)

Typical effort for the initial approval(Module D, 1 instrument category, 1 location, German language, ISO 9001-Certificate present)
• Stage 1 Audit:Lead Auditor: ½-1 day on location + travel time, ½ day pre-/post processing1 Expert: ½-1 day on location + travel time, ½ day pre-/post processing
• Stage 2 Audit:Lead Auditor: 1-2 days on location + travel time, 1-2 days pre-/post processing1 Expert: 1-2 days on location + travel time, 1-2 days pre-/post processing
• Certification Body: 1 day
Computation of fees according to effort and the work performed• Basis: Regulations Governing the Charges for Services Supplied by PTB
• ca. 1.200 € /day /person plus travel expenses
Page 33
Changes on an approved QS-System to be notified
Examples for notifiable Changes:
• Relocation or extension of sites
• Change of a subcontractor for metrological relevant components
• Change of testing methods in final inspection of the production
• Basic changes in production process
• Lapse of ISO 9001-Certification
• Add new measuring instrument types on the scope of quality system approval
• Fundamental organizational chances (e.g. chance of the company’s ownership or legal status, start of insolvency proceedings
-> notification to audit team
-> review by the audit team
-> potential changes of QS-Approval certificate or its annex
