[All ISO 22301 Lead Implementer Questions]

Scenario:

Headquartered in Sri Lanka, Operons Inc. is a freight forwarding company that adopted a BCMS aligned with ISO 22301. Prior to the certification audit, Operons Inc. measured gaps between their BCMS and the standard's requirements to ensure compliance. The certification body was contracted to conduct the audit, and a biased auditor from a previous ISO 9001 audit was replaced upon request. During the audit, two minor nonconformities were identified, and the audit team issued a recommendation for certification.

Based on Scenario 8, considering that these are only minor nonconformities and the top management was quick to acknowledge the oversight, the audit team issued a recommendation for certification. Is this acceptable?

ANo, a recommendation for certification conditional upon filing of corrective actions should have been issued.

BNo, an unfavorable recommendation for certification should have been issued.

CYes, a recommendation for certification should be issued even in cases of minor nonconformities.

I feel like the audit team should have issued a conditional recommendation, but I’m not confident about the specifics of ISO 22301.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think we practiced a similar question where the recommendation depended on the severity of the nonconformities.

I remember discussing how minor nonconformities can sometimes be overlooked if management is proactive about addressing them.
