Obviously every company has a different set of circumstances, and in such a case you would definitely want to perform some sort of evaluation for a janitorial vendor in such an environment. And there could also be security issues if the cleaning people come in late at night and have keys to the building. So it's your call, people. If your janitorial vendor, or your office supplies vendor, etc, don't affect product quality, and you're pretty sure your auditor doesn't have a problem with them not being evaluated, I say it's OK to exclude them from the vendor evaluation process.

You can then narrow down those that would have an impact and act accordingly for vendor evaluation. More often than not I would say that the first poster is correct. perhaps but that would be a good reason to perform cursory risk analysis about all processes being performed in a facility.

But there can be situations where the unclean ambiance may harm / affect your product quality by say , adultration or infection. It may also affect the work efficiency of the staff, there by directly affecting the product/service theyprovide. So in my opinion it will be good to enter the names of the vendors who provide such services in the vendor inspection list Dear Sir,

I've only had to do that once in about 15 years, but yes you can ask your registar to send a different auditor. Or you can change registrars. I wouldn't recommend you do this a lot, but you probably shouldn't have to. Most auditors are reasonable people. Actually, yes you can get a new auditor.

But it hacks me off that, like you said, they don't think we have anything better to do. I can't be chasing every last detail, I have a business to run. If an auditor wants you do do things like that can you just get a new auditor? Cathy I don’t feel otherwise, I agree.
