It details the principles described in EN 9223-100.It is up to each programme responsible person to define the necessary details of application and tailoring in the Configuration Management plan.Important remark:Configuration audit doesn’t be confused with quality audit (for detailed information, see 4.1).This document does not deal with configuration system audits (quality audit) deployed within the scope of a programme. These audits stem from quality audits as defined in EN ISO 9001 (process conformity or efficiency audits).
