An auditor can ask about monitoring resources by inquiring how the organization determines and provides the necessary resources to ensure valid and reliable results to verify the conformity of products and services. They may also ask how the organization ensures that the monitoring and measuring resources provided are maintained, what records are retained to evidence that these resources are properly maintained, and which standards are followed for the calibration or verification of measuring equipment. Additionally, they might ask how the organization safeguards its measuring equipment and what actions are taken when equipment is found unfit for its intended purpose.
