Table 7.3.2 - Required audits vs. number of sites
7.3.14 When non-conformities (as defined in ISO/IEC 17021-1) are found at any individual training site, either through the organisation’s internal auditing or from auditing by the certification body, an investigation shall take place to determine whether the other training sites may be affected. In this instance, the certification body shall require the multi-site training provider to review the non-conformities to determine whether they indicate an overall management system deficiency applicable to other training sites. If this is found to be the case, corrective action shall be performed and verified both at the central function and at the individual affected training sites. If this is not found to be the case, the multi-site training provider shall be able to demonstrate the justification for limiting its corrective action to the certification body
