ISO 19011:2018 6.4.2: Assigning roles and responsibilities of guides and observers

Guidance: guides and observers may accompany the team with the approval of the team leader, client or auditee, and should neither sway nor disrupt the audit; the team leader may deny observers where this cannot be assured. Observer access, safety, environmental, security and confidentiality arrangements are managed between client and auditee. Any guide the auditee appoints should help the team, acting when asked by the team leader or the auditor assigned: identifying interviewees and confirming timings and locations, arranging access, ensuring location rules for access, safety, environment, security and confidentiality are known and respected and risks addressed, witnessing the audit for the auditee where appropriate, and clarifying or assisting in collecting information.
