Hybrid audit

MDCG accepts hybrid audits in certain conditions, so part of the audit team can work from elsewhere. At least one auditor still has to be physically present on the premises.

A ‘hybrid audit’ should be understood as an audit on the premises of the manufacturer or its supplier(s) and/or subcontractor(s) with at least one auditor present on the premises and other members of the audit team participating from elsewhere using information and communication technologies (ICT).
