The two-day hurdle of providing documented evidences to prove its compliance to the ISO-9001:2015 standards ended successfully for DA-RFO I as it passed the 2nd Surveillance Audit with not a single non-conformity finding from the auditors.
“With the result of the audit, and raising no major nor minor non-conformity, we are happy to recommend your continued certification to ISO-9001:2015!”
Lead auditor Mr. Renato Madrid, Jr. of the Certification International Philippines, happily announced this as a concluding message during the closing meeting for the DA-RFO I 2nd Surveillance Audit on November 27,2020 held at the Regional Field Office 1’s 5th Floor Conference Hall.
