ZMA STAFF SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE ISO 9001:2015 LEAD AUDITOR TRAINING
Staff drawn from various departments of the Zambia Metrology Agency (ZMA), a statutory body under the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry, successfully completed a five-day Lead Auditor Training on ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management Systems (QMS) — Requirements, facilitated by AZUTS Consultancy.
ISO 9001:2015 is the internationally recognized standard that sets out the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS), enabling organizations to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements while enhancing customer satisfaction through effective system implementation and continual improvement.
The training equipped participants with a strong foundation in professional auditing principles, audit techniques, and best practices aligned with ISO 9001:2015 requirements. Through a combination of interactive learning and practical exercises, participants strengthened their competence in planning, conducting, reporting, and following up internal audits.
Special emphasis was placed on the interpretation and application of ISO 9001:2015 clauses in audit settings, the identification and documentation of conformities and nonconformities, and the conduct of audit simulations to build practical auditing confidence and capability.
The successful completion of this training represents an important milestone in strengthening internal audit capacity and supporting the continual improvement of ZMA’s Quality Management System.
