경영대리인의 인정과 권한 및 컨설턴트 활용
This Advisory describes Monogram/APIQR’s position on recognition and the authority of “Management Representatives” of a licensed/registered organization and the role that a consultant or consultants may play in the organization’s participation in the Monogram/APIQR Program.
For the Monogram/APIQR Program to properly evaluate a licensed/registered organization and its implementation and maintenance of its quality management system, the program and its auditor(s) must be able to communicate directly with the personnel that are responsible for handling the quality management system issues at the organization.
In accordance with API Specification Q1 and Monogram/APIQR policies and procedures, the Management Representative of a licensed/registered organization must be appointed by the organization’s management and be employed by the organization on a full-time basis. Consultants hired on a contract or temporary basis do not satisfy this requirement.
API 규격 Q1 및 모노그램/APIQR 정책 및 절차에 따라 라이선스/등록된 조직의 경영대리인은 조직의 경영진이 임명하고 조직에서 정규직으로 고용해야 합니다. 계약 또는 임시로 고용된 컨설턴트는 이 요구 사항을 충족하지 않습니다.
Regarding consultants, Monogram/APIQR neither approves nor endorses the use of third-party representatives (consultants);
a licensed/registered organization’s choice to avail itself of a consultant’s services will not affect the status of the license / registration; and an organization is not required to use a consultant.
Additionally, Monogram/APIQR auditors shall not require or recommend that an organization hire a consultant as a condition for meeting program requirements.
However, if third party consultants are used by a licensed/registered organization to advise on meeting program requirements, the consultants are not permitted to do the following:
