The certified company must provide the certification company with any information that it considers relevant to the audit. If requested by the certification company, the certified company must provide the results obtained based on its own voluntary sampling inspection procedures.

2: The certification company must conduct a comprehensive on-site inspection of the production unit/preparation unit or other sites at least once a year, and the certification company has the right to conduct surprise inspections.
