• Online audit checklist for MSC Certification - Initial Audit

  • This form is to check conformity with the MSC requirements as outlined in the Policy Manual, in cases where you don't need an audit on-site.

    You will be asked to upload some evidence - in general this means photos - and a normal smartphone photo is fine. You can upload multiple images - and if you are unsure what is required - there are some good examples here

    There are 19 questions in total.

All staff need some understanding about MSC - but you are the person who needs to be really clued up, so this form will test that you understand the requirements as well!
