 .	All CBs are required to consult [[https://iaf.nu/en/iaf-documents/?cat_id=7|IAF MD 5, “Determination of Audit Time of Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems”]] (available free) to determine the number of audit days required for each audit (the "MD" designator means that it is a "Mandatory Document"). This determination begins by obtaining the number of personnel at the company who will be involved with the company’s Quality Management System (QMS).
 <WRAP center round important 80%>
+[[https://iaf.nu/en/iaf-documents/?cat_id=7|IAF MD 5]] defines applicable personnel as: \\
+<WRAP indent>
+//1.9. Effective Number of Personnel \\
+The effective number of personnel consists of all personnel (permanent, temporary, and part-time) involved within the scope of certification including those working on each shift. When included within the scope of certification, it shall also include non-permanent (e.g. contractors) personnel.//
+</WRAP>
 Personnel not involved with the QMS typically include those individuals who have absolutely no direct or indirect involvement with customers or fulfilling customer requirements. Examples may include cafeteria personnel, groundskeepers, janitorial, and/or security personnel within a manufacturing company. Also, there are no direct requirements in ISO 9001 for Accounting/Financial functions… even though Accounts Receivable invoices to customers.

IAF MD 5, Figure QMS 1 – Relationship between Complexity and Audit Time) and associated risks of its products and/or services (Ref. IAF MD 5, Annex A, Table QMS 2 – Examples of Risk Categories).
